The slow cooker isn’t usually associated with Chinese food, but I find it’s a great tool to develop a flavorful, well-blended sauce. And it means you can have a delicious meal waiting for you when you get home—no takeout necessary! This tofu dish is a vegan re-creation of a sweet and sour pork dish that I remember my mother making when I was a kid.

For best time management, cut up your vegetables while the tofu is pressing and store in the fridge until the end of the cooking time. Serve over rice to soak up all the saucy goodness!

Every week Recipe Monday features a brand-new recipe from one of our authors perfect for Meatless Monday.

This is a hearty, dinner party-worthy, visually arresting dish that’s well worth all the effort. I’ve adapted it from a recipe in Annie Somerville’s rightfully beloved vegetarian cookbook Fields of Greens—I cut the dairy back by half and swapped a few ingredients to accommodate what I had on hand the first time I made it. You should feel free to do the same, though I do find that this dish has exactly the right amount of richness for my palate. To feed a crowd, double the recipe and use an 13 x 18 sheet pan.
