When chilly autumn nights beckon a nourishing bowl of comfort food to warm the heart, this Smoked Tofu Mushroom Stroganoff with Green Beans might just fit the bill and become your next family-favourite home-cooked meal. It’s an ideal weeknight meal and an easy one-pot dish in the pressure cooker (or stove top) that can be made in about 30 minutes from start to finish. This vegan stroganoff recipe is gluten-free, can be made soy-free and low carb (vegan keto-friendly options).

Traditionally a Russian meat dish with sour cream as the base sauce, there are however variations of the dish around the world. We are giving it a plant-based twist with flavourful smoked tofu, meaty sauteed mushrooms and a handful of fresh green beans for some crisp vibrancy. The result is a hearty velvety pasta dish while keeping the calorie count much lower than the traditional dish.

For a low carb version or vegan keto-friendly option, use bean pasta or shirataki noodles. For soy-free option, substitute the smoked tofu with chickpeas and the soy sauce with our soy-free gluten-free soy sauce substitute.

The green beans in this dish not only add a pop of colour and an awesome crunchy texture but they also make this meal nutrient dense. When sliced length-wise, the green beans release their beautiful aroma and flavourful juices adding so much depth to the sauce. The texture is also a whole lot different and really worth the little extra time it takes to slice them in this fashion.

You may manually slice them in half along the length but I love my trusty French bean slicer which actually does a swift neat job. I purchased mine on Amazon Canada, you can also find an equivalent one on Amazon US. You do need very fresh and crisp beans for this though otherwise, it can be a little fiddly to get the beans to pass through the blades if they are limp. You can see our French bean slicer in action in our Instagram stories if you follow us there.

Notes Homemade Ginger-Garlic Paste - https://veganlovlie.com/quick-tip-pre-mince-prepare-preserve/ *It's easy and way more convenient to make your own homemade minced ginger in advance. It keeps for 2 - 3 months refrigerated and is handy whenever minced ginger is needed in recipes. See our easy tutorial on how to do this -- https://veganlovlie.com/quick-tip-pre-mince-prepare-preserve/ **If you can't find smoked tofu, use regular tofu that has been pan-fried first. You may use a little liquid smoke and soy sauce to flavour the tofu while pan-frying. Soy-free Options

***Use our soy-free gluten-free Replace the smoked tofu with cooked chickpeas.***Use our soy-free gluten-free soy sauce substitute - https://veganlovlie.com/soy-sauce-substitute-recipe-for-soy/ Pasta Cooking Time ****Pasta cooking time may vary depending on the pasta. See packet instructions, then divide the time indicated by half and in case of fractions, round off to the closest whole number down (not up).
