Substitutions
butter → olive-oil
Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.
egg (silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)) → silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)
Carbonara without egg is not carbonara. Fried rice can skip the egg. We will not pretend otherwise.
onion → shallot
Shallots are sweeter. Use the same volume, or a little extra onion if that is what you have.
