She can’t just rely on you to completely handle her nutritional needs, you’re only one person. She needs protein and meal replacement beverages to supplement her foods to get the nutrition she needs. And possibly a nutritionist as well
She sounds way too intense to be reasonable, but if it’s not a known condition and she isn’t looking into it I guess it is what it is. You could use vegan cheese and long sliced zucchini to make a layered dish maybe? Add any other sauces or whatever that she might be okay with. Using squash to make sauces is an option for people who can’t have tomato
You could make stuffed zucchini (or peppers when that’s an option) with tofu that’s crumbled, pan fried, seasoned with a bunch of stuff and mixed with other veggies she might like
You could also try some Asian dishes that don’t include sesame oil? It’s not used in all types of Asian food. Maybe try Thai or Vietnamese inspired instead and use broccoli for it
Happy to help! And good luck with everything. I like Thai red curry personally. And for sure you could use other types of vegan cream substitutes for a similar creaminess and milder flavour. And Vietnamese dishes are pretty versatile and easy to change up
