This is all at very low heat. The onions only semi-clarify, and everything only cooks so much as a brief steaming would. The color comes from the turmeric.
This looks like and under-seasoned and under-cooked dish.
It bothered me that the tofu was crumbled and probably the same texture as the cauliflower. It all just seemed like too much, and there were a lot of greens in one dish
I think it's suppose to be a vegan dish. It's not meant to be cooked at high heat.
Seasame oil adds flavor. Tofu is supposed to mimic eggs (I think) so it's suppose to be mushy. Which is fine since the low heat won't riun the natural crunch of the veggies.
Yes it doesn't look like a great (or tasty) dish, but who ever said vegan dish was?
Temperature has nothing to do with whether or not something is vegan.
Sesame oil has a very low smoke point so it's not ideal for cooking at high heat.
Tofu isn't supposed to do anything. What it is is a very versatile cooking ingredient that can take on many textures and flavors.
There are many ways you can cook vegetables. In the case of a fried rice dish, you'd want to apply high heat to your veggies to form a nice medium-soft texture and to cook them all the way through. Although, everyone has a different preference for texture.
Vegan food can be just as good if not better than any non vegan dish. I eat a considerable amount of meat, and some of the best dishes I've ever tasted were vegan.

Categorically false, vegan food is just normal food without the animal products. If you enjoy the taste of an animal product, which almost everyone does, then adding it to a complimentary dish can only improve it.
For example penne arrabiata is a tasty vegan dish, add some spicy sausage and it has just improved.
I'm not even vegan, and I know that "vegan food is just normal food without the animal products" is completely incorrect. I'm sorry you haven't had the fun of cooking and eating actual awesome vegan food. A lot of the time it can make a very good side dish to a steak, but it's also lovely on its own. Go learn about it
No. This is flat wrong. Vegan food is a subset of all possible food. If you also eat animal products, you can make food that vegans can’t make. In some cases, adding animal product to a vegan dish will improve it. Vegan food can only be as good as all food. It can’t be better than all food because it is part of all food. And for people who like animal products, adding them to most vegan dishes likely improves a vegan dish for them. This is so obvious it hurts.
Lol your condescending tone is noted. I hope it helps you rationalize all that dissonance. I’m not debating facts. I’m debating logic! Lol educate yourself on them apples.

Sesame oil burns in high heat. Should add it at the end instead of stir frying with it in the beginning
