I’m not a fan of most veggie burgers—too bready—but I am a fan of “meaty” vegetables in buns. This is my version of a veggie burger—using the meatiness of seared clusters of maitake (hen of the woods) mushrooms, with an additional layer of umami from a miso glaze. The mushrooms pair well with Swiss cheese, complemented by the bite of sliced red onions and arugula. You can substitute oyster mushrooms.

This custardy and comforting tofu comes together in minutes, all thanks to your microwave. Serve with rice or bread for an easy meal.
Reliable cabbage is cooked in the punchy sauce and then combined with store-bought baked tofu and roasted cashews for a salad that can also be eaten with rice.
The tofu is crunchy on the outside, in part thanks to a panko-studded exterior, and squishy-in-a-good-way on the inside. It also comes together in 20 minutes.
For the full effect, enjoy over a bed of rice with a pint of cold beer.
Chewy noodles, tinned fish, and hardy greens in an umami broth.
This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.
The pan-fried tofu is crispy yet pillowy, served with a punchy dressing that is made with the same bold flavors as mapo seasoning.
You can consider this recipe a template for creating a gooey, cheesy instant ramen dish with an appetizing golden crust in the oven.
