Go-To Foods? (self.vegan)

Hi all - what are some of your go-to foods? I've been doing a lot of the microwaveable processed stuff for convenience's sake, but I'd like to do a bit more cooking if possible. I don't meal prep at present but am interested to hear what y'all find easy and tasty and actually make regularly.

Thanks!

There are several vegan variations of an African Peanut Stew that we make fairly regularly. Budget Bytes and Simple Veganista each have fair versions that you can vary as desired. Fresh ginger is pretty essential. I don't like using lemons in it.

Kawaj (eggplant stew) is another that makes lots of leftovers. We use canned stewed tomatoes instead of fresh, and never ever ever use as much salt as listed. Maybe 1 tsp., but no more.

Cold Soba Noodles (or Sesame Noodles) are lovely in summer. We sometimes add firm tofu, and always sprinkle with cilantro and either toasted sesame seeds or peanuts.
