  • If you’re looking for a scramble, things like tofu scrambles can be pretty good! Usually that’s with firm tofu rather than soft tofu, but you absolutely can use soft tofu as well. It can also be seasoned a million different ways. Here’s one example recipe (with firm tofu)

    https://www.noracooks.com/tofu-scramble/

    Soft tofu will have a different texture than firm so you can try recipes for both and see what you think. (EDIT: Note that you generally don’t want to substitute one for the other because of that texture difference so look for recipes that specifically call for using firm tofu or specifically call for soft/silken)


    Soft/silken tofu can also be used as a binder too and replace dairy / eggs in various recipes. Like I’ve made a chocolate mousse with it before and it didn’t affect the taste. Had some friends and family try it and they both didn’t know there was tofu in it and also were surprised to learn it was vegan

    There’s a also some vegan cooking & baking communities here on lemmy if you want other inspirations. Here’s one that’s pretty active !homecooks@vegantheoryclub.org and here’s another that’s a little less active but has recipes for it all !veganrecipes@sh.itjust.works


  • Related note: There are some good vegan eggs out there to give a try!

    If you want something that cooks and bakes like eggs there’s stuff you can by like Just Egg

    For baking there’s a million things you can use that are pretty cheap. For instance, Aquafaba is the leftover water from cooking chickpeas or the water in the can if you buy it canned. Acts like egg whites and can be used as a binder for baking

    If you want something more hands on, work on local races this year. They are how we can fight back

    Elections are run at the state level in the US. Even for federal offices


    Many states have elections this year even despise it being an off year

    There are special elections today in Virginia thay will determine who controls the state legislature. If dems remain control, they can block a lot of the Republicans governors attempts to disenfranchise

    There are special elections in Minnesota on Jan 28th to determine control of one house of the state legislature

    There is an election that will determine control of the Wisconsin state supreme court on April 1st. The more recent Progressive control has lead to Wisconsin getting fair maps as the gerrymandered maps were overturned. We are going to want to keep it that way and build further

    There are special elections for various US house members like to replace Matt Gatez on April 1st. Should we win any suprise flips, it will be even harder for Republicans to get things through congresss with their already tight 3 seat majority

    And so on

    Here’s a frequently updated spreadsheet with various at home volunteering options

    EDIT: also on another note, consider running for election yourself. There are various small local positions around you that often go uncontested. Here’s one group that helps progressives run for local office https://runforsomething.net/
