Tofu fish fillet
2009-07-06 17:41:00 Here's a recipe for tofu fish fillet, but without the fish. It is really just breaded slices of tofu baked in an oven, but very, very tasty. You can put it on top of a salad, make it into a sandwich, or serve it with your favorite condiments. You can also make them into fish fillet sticks and serve it with tartar sauce or dijon mustard.Ingredients:12 ounces firm tofuOne egg, beaten Panko breadcrumbs2 tbsp wine vinegar1/4 tsp paprika1/4 tsp garlic powder1/4 tsp onion powderDirections:Cut the block of tofu into halves for large slices, or into fours for smaller slices. Alternatively, you can also cut them into long blocks for fish sticks.Press and drain the pieces to remove the water. You can place the tofu slices on paper towels, fold the towels over to cover the tofu, and place a large plate on top of the tofu to weigh it down. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels. Combine the wine vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Marinate the tof...

Green tea tofu soy ice cream
2009-06-17 04:26:00 The recipe I ended up using was the Vegan soy ice cream recipe from Post Punk Kitchen. The recipe was very basic and used minimal ingredients. All I had to do was customize it with my choice of flavor.Ingredients:12 ounces firm silken tofu1 cup plain soy milk1/3 cup maple syrup2 tsp vanilla5 tsp green tea powderDirections:Combine the ingredients in a blender and blend until the mixture becomes smooth.Next, I added the green tea powder. I added a little extra for a stronger green tea taste.Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions. For my machine, I left it on for about 20 minutes and that did the job.Here's the green tea ice cream.It came out great! The texture of the ice cream was very smooth and creamy. The green tea flavor was perfect too. I didn't add any sugar, because I like my green tea ice cream bitter. There's something about sweeten green tea ice cream that just bugs me a bit. This recipe made about 3 cups of delicio...

Stir-Fried Tofu With Beans Recipe
2009-03-04 06:45:00 The IngredientsI was so tempted to hold on to this recipe and post it a couple of weeks later, what with all the emails and comments asking for the recipe, when I posted the picture of the ingredients for Click. I was loving the attention! You guys are so cool, you know, making me feel so loved and wanted. I have asked TH to contact you for some lessons on that.However, as much as I loved hearing from you all, I thought I shouldn't make you good people wait any longer. This is one of the few dishes that I buy for lunch from the local hawker centers near office. It seemed so simple yet tasted so good that I had to try it at home. I did ask the aunty at the food stall what they add to it but she just waved me off after saying "tofu, tomatoes, tomato sauce.." so I was thinking I'll pretty much improvise on my own. The recipe is inspired by Hooked on Heat with some minor changes from my end.But first things first. Huge thanks to Delhibelle for helping me identify the right tofu to buy...

Steam Tofu with Prawns
2008-12-03 23:35:00 My daughter loves this dish and she can finish all the tofu on her own. That is after some adjustments to it.Previously, when I do this I use dried mushroom. Perhaps the smell and taste is too strong to her liking and I used fresh shitake mushroom instead and she loves it. Of course, partially the reason was the sauce too. Tofu are bland without any accompanying sauce, kids might not like it at all.Ingredients:1 block silken Tofu, sliced equally in smaller pieces6 Prawns or depending on the no. of slices of tofu you have1 Fresh Shitake Mushroom, sliced1 section Carrot, about length of finger shreddedSesame Seed OilSauce:5 tablespoon Water1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce3/4 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce1/2 tablespoon Cooking Wine1 teaspoon SugarCornflour Mixture (thickener)How to do it:Place sliced tofu on dish.Remove heads and shells of prawns.Slit the back of prawns.Devien and clean.Place prawns with slitted back on tofu.Place a slice of mushroom and some shredded carrot on prawns.Steam for ...

Tofu Pumpkin Pie
2008-11-24 02:40:00 I posted a recipe for a vegan pumpkin pie a while back. I have been looking forward to baking this for some time and was very excited this past weekend when I finally made time for it. I am a big fan of pies and cakes. Also, I am always intrigued by vegan food and the many things you can do with tofu. I have made tofu cheesecakes in the past (Blueberry tofu cheesecake and Blackberry vegan tofu cheesecake) and those turned out totally delightful. The ingredient tofu is a great substitute for milk and eggs. I imagined tofu pumpkin pie would just be as amazing!I ended up making one 9 inch pumpkin pie and 6 mini ones. I used Keebler ReadyCrust graham cracker piecrust. I scaled up the ingredients a little. I only found 29 oz size cans of pumpkin puree and decided use it all up.The tofu pumpkin pies came out amazing! The spices made the pie very flavorful. The tofu gave the pie filling a nice rich texture. The pie is not overwhelmingly sweet or too rich, and the pumpkin flavor was just r...

Flash in the Pan: Mex-Ital Tofu Scramble
2008-07-24 03:36:00 [I've decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly, or else is so easy to make that no recipe is required. Here's today's "Flash in the Pan."] [Non-salsa version] Oooh. . . I’m feeling the crunch. I wish I could say that’s the “crunch” of a lovely rice crisp-filled chocolate bar or the crunch of ice in a gin and tonic as I lounge by a pool, or even the crunch of my feet as they traverse a lovely woodsy trail with The Girls, but no; the crunch I am experiencing is the crunch of marking as the semester nears its end. And now that we’ve reached this critical juncture in the term, I’m afraid I won’t be able to post as often as I’d like, at least for a couple of weeks. I did discover that I’ve got quite a few photos from previous cooking adventures, however, patiently waiting for posts, so I’ll try to clear out some old files over the next while as I simultane...

Tofu Dip
2008-05-25 11:05:00 I absolutely love the logo and idea of Susan´s Beautiful Bones event. As paying attention to calcium was crucial during my vegan years, I am particularly happy to participate in such events.This fresh dip is a great choice on those mornings, when you have to go to work, but first to the post office and make a phone call, pay the rent and definitely do not have time to cook lunch or even think of cooking.

Nepalese Tofu And Pea Curry
2008-05-22 18:03:00 I am always on a constant hunt for genuine ethnic recipes. So each time I go to a library or a store I am trying to grab a cookbook that would justify this hunger. I was pretty lucky on my last trip to our library discovering a cute little book on Nepalese cooking.

Marinated Italian Tofu
2008-05-20 10:38:00 hi! I'm back again - finally. I called this Italian because it has the common combination of garlic, rosemary and olive oil. And it's simple as most of italian food is.Method:Slice the Tofu and place on a wide serving plate for one hour with all these ingredients:Enough Soy Sauce to cover the slices evenly (not exactly italian but, nevermind)Extra-virgin olive oilFinely chopped fresh garlic.Wait half an hour add more soy sauce if necessary, turn and reapeat on the other side.Cook in a frying pan with a little more oil (if necessary) until golden brown and nice and crispy.Simple but very tasty :) try it!

Tofu Satay
2008-04-27 08:45:00 Our colleague wanted to share a beautiful bottle of shaouiu (Chinese whisky), so mi marido and I hosted a small dinner party. Because the centerpiece was the shaouju, I made several of typical Japanese bar food like rice balls, pickled veggies, cucumber sticks with spicy miso dip, savory pancakes, and edamame salad (which was the best I can do to pair with this particular drink I hadn't had).I wanted to make something with a package of the high protein organic tofu from Trader Joe's, so here it is. I will definitely make these again :) Oh and I made some tofu salad to stuff pita pockets with tofu that I scooped out, which I thought was brilliant. On a different note, a kind acquaintance of mi marido's gave us an indoor composter this morning, and I am excited about wasting less resources :) It's a small change, but it's a step forward right? I learned that we need to buy worms for our composter, which made me realize I didn't know much about how composters work. Growing ...

The Health Benefits of Tofu
2008-03-24 15:17:00 What is Tofu and How is it made?Tofu is soybean curd, made from soymilk in much the same way that cheese is made from cow's milk. Most large-scale maufacturers of tofu make their own soymilk, to which they then add an agent to cause coagulation, usually a salt or an acid.When a coagulant is added to the hot-boiled soymilk, it causes curds (made of protein and fat) to form. The excess liquid is squeezed out and the remaining solid curds are presed into blocks. There are typically three main varieties of tofu. firm, soft and silken.Firm TofuFirm tofu is dense and holds its shape easily. It's best for slicing, stir-frying, marinating and grilling. It has the highest protein, calcium and fat content of all tofu.Soft TofuIt is more gelatinous and it works well in soups and as an egg replacer, since its consistency is similar to that of a har-boiled egg-white.Silken Tofu is curdled in its package and not drained, resulting in a creamy tofu with a high moisture content. Its great for ble...

Tofu and Broccoli Stir Fry
2008-03-13 06:03:00 Though I am quite obviously a meat eater, I'm also a fan of tofu when it's done right. Sometimes I'm just in the mood for it, plus it's pretty easy to cook. And it lasts in the fridge for months, which is a huge plus for me because I enjoy buying things and then forgetting about them for a bit. But when it comes to tofu, you usually have to make a dish with a lot of flavor, as it tends to be rather bland on its own.I decided to make Martha Stewart's tofu and broccoli stir fry since it looked simple, healthy, and delicious. It was exactly what I was in the mood for.Since tofu is pretty much a thick block, you'll want to start by cutting it. Cut it crosswise into 5 or 6 slabs. And then cut each slab horizontally into 4 triangles. Place triangles on a paper towel and leave for a while so that it can dry a bit.Now you can cook the broccoli. But really, only cook it for about 2 minutes, until it turns bright green. For me, there's nothing worse than overcooked veggies. After it's...

Barbecue Tofu Sandwich with Roasted Peppers and Arugula
2008-03-06 16:48:00 Even the most avid cook occasionally balks at the prospect of preparing dinner. When this happens to me, I respond by firing up the stovetop for one of my reliable, stress-free standbys, such as my barbecue tofu sandwich with arugula and roasted peppers.Before I get to the sandwich recipe, it’s worth addressing the “why bother with tofu?” question. My answer to that is more questions: Do you like to cook and eat delicious food? Do you need quick meal ideas? Does the healthfulness of the food you eat matter? Whether you answered “yes” to one or all of the above, then it’s high time to slough any tofu prejudice and/or indifference once and for all.Tofu is easy on the home cook, because it requires little hassle or hustle to assemble and season. It can be incredibly delicious because it takes on the identity of whatever you cook with it: from chilies to chocolate, bbq sauce to pesto, it complies with my every will and whim. The preparation options are equally versatile: I c...
Mahogany Glazed Tofu (month of dinner posts)
2008-03-06 03:48:00 Have a mouth as sharp as a dagger, but a heart as soft as tofu--Chinese Proverb.I’m keeping my promise of posting today, despite the sun shining in earnest, luring me outside to frolic. The enticement led to a rough start writing; when I put Nick down for his morning nap and sat before my screen, I did little else, save for checking my email and polishing off a re-warmed cup of coffee. It’s not so much writer’s block as it is a worry about fulfilling Truman Capote’s quip about Kerouac, “That’s not writing, it’s typing.” Please forgive me in advance if this reads as word-processing exercise #58.But the phenomenon of food blogging is proving to be an answer in itself to such brain-freezes, since 50% of the equation is the food, which is why I abandoned computer for kitchen in search of tofu inspiration and a fresh pot of Darjeeling.I had several hair-brained ideas for mashing up tofu cakes and tofu “meatballs”; suffice to say I realized the error of my ways before ...
Tempeh and tofu, for better or worse
2008-02-28 12:52:00 Consuming tempeh can reduce the risk of developing dementia in the elderly, but eating tofu can increase it, said a joint study between universities here and in Britain on Wednesday.The study between University of Indonesia (UI), Indonesia Respati University, University of Loughborough and University of Oxford said people over 68 years of age who consumed tofu more than twice a day had a worse memory than those who rarely ate it.But if they also ate tempeh, the risk of dementia was reduced."Tempeh consumption very likely offsets tofu's negative associations with memory," Professor Eef Hogervorst of the University of Loughborough said in a seminar on aging and health at UI campus in Depok, where she presented the result of the study.The study involved 712 respondents from Jakarta, Citengah in West Java and Yogyakarta, with ages ranging from 52 to 99 years. Hogervorst said basic soy products, including Indonesian traditional foods of tofu and tempeh, had positive effects on memory b...

Taste & Create VI - Chocolate Tofu Pudding!
2008-02-24 07:53:00 This whole idea of trying out recipes from fellow bloggers is really fun - I've been indulging in this a lot more lately, sometimes trying to follow the recipe as closely as possible, other times I add my twist - as is what I often do with most recipes :) Either way, it is always really exciting to try something suggested by a fellow blogger, see how it turns out and be able to talk about our successes and misadventures.So, when Chris suggested that I should check out Taste & Create started by Nicole, I was intrigued. This event basically pairs up food bloggers who proceed to try out a recipe (any recipe) from each other's blogs. The first time I checked out the list of bloggers who were interested in trying this out, I realized there were *tons* of folks out there who I had never visited.

Blackberry Vegan Tofu Cheesecake
2008-02-13 04:33:00 In my last post Lunar New Year Food (Vegetarian Style) I showcased the Berry Mix Tofu Cheesecake. It uses tofu and soy cream cheese as the main ingredients and was topped with strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. Previously, I had also posted a recipe for a Blueberry Tofu Cheesecake that utilized tofu and soy milk instead. I usually bake the cheesecake with soy cream cheese and tofu. I enjoy this version more because of its creamier texture.Here's the recipe for the cheesecake. This one is not as extravagant as the one I made for Lunar New Years and is only topped with blackberries. The recipe is very simple.Ingredients:1 (12 ounce) package of tofu (Mori-Nu Silken Firm Tofu works great)1 (8 ounce) package of soy cream cheese (Tofutti dairy-free cream cheese)1 cup sugar1 tbsp vanilla extract1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust1 tbsp of arrowroot (or a thickening agent or your choice)Optional: Blackberries or fruit(s) of your choice (Strawberries would be nice too... or b...

Green = good, Green+Tofu = better!
2008-02-05 06:08:00 Eat your spinach, you no good infink. Eat it. EAT IT. Eat it. - Poopdeck PappySaag Paneer has always been a household favourite - aromatic and flavourful greens cooked up with toasted, crunchy cheese bits. Saag and Palak are used interchangeably so often, more so because there is no exact equivalent for those greens in the U.S. For the most part, palak is just spinach and saag is a combination of spinach and mustard greens. But most folks I know often use a variety of greens when making saag - the more flavourful and diverse the greens, the merrier, right? :)In line with the recent push for healthy, high-protein and high-fibre recipes, I embarked on a variation of this popular greens dish from North India. I had a bunch of collard greens as well as some spinach and microgreens - this olio of leaves could definitely make for interesting saag, right? Also, in an effort to cut back on the fat, I decided to try this out with tofu instead of paneer. That was a big sacrifice - there are f...
Tofu Omelette with Sauteed Apples and Sweet Curry Sauce
2008-01-30 13:07:00 Love never ceases to amaze me. In the halcyon days of our relationship, when my HH and I were still in early stages of romantic life, I was sideswiped with a doozy of a diagnosis that caused me to change my diet drastically for what turned out to be quite a long time. Still fiercely besotted back then, my HH was perfectly willing to accommodate my strange and singular dietary restrictions: no sugar, no wheat, no eggs, no dairy, no anything fermented (which included my half of those bottles of wine we’d grown accustomed to consuming with dinner), no caffeine, and on and on—for about three more paragraphs. As a couple who habitually dined out 2 or 3 times a week plus brunch on Sundays (one advantage of meeting when we were too old for kids is the increased discretionary spending), this new diet forced us to alter our regular routine, um, considerably. All this, and my HH was still happy to comply, and even join me as I consumed cooked amaranth and tahini, tamari-m...
Garlic Tofu @ Angel's Cafe - Ferndale, Mich.
2008-01-28 17:33:00 Saturday afternoon, a friend and I lunched at a quaint cafe in a local trendy suburb--Angel's Cafe in Ferndale, Mich. I attempted to eat at this cafe once before; a vegetarian friend and I stopped by this cafe in the fall, only to find they were closed to the public due to a baby shower event. That day, we ended up walking two doors down to a music cafe which served vegan food, so all was good. Still, my interest in the Angel's Cafe was piqued and I mentioned it to my maid-of-honor as a possible bridal shower location (since I knew they did showers now) where my guests could dine on animal-friendly food! We haven't settled on a shower location yet, but when my friend, an omnivore, mentioned lunch and a movie for Saturday, it was SHE who recommended that we try the cafe. :)At first I thought I was a jinx because I walked up to the cafe, smiled at their "open" sign hanging from the glass door and gave it a tug... nothing. The door was locked! Ugh, could I really miss two dinin...

Safeway to consume some soy getting your tofu to market
2008-01-22 02:43:00 Nation grocery store chain Safeway has announced that they have converted their entire distribution truck fleet to running on biodiesel. The company has over 1,000 trucks in their fleet, all of which are now fueled with biodiesel. Safeway estimates that the move will cut the cumulative carbon dioxide emissions from their fleet by over 75 million pounds a year. It's unknown if Safeway is using straight biodiesel or a blend (earlier Safeway announcements about biodiesel said the company would use B20) but either way, it's good to see another major fleet making the switch.Related: Safeway starts down the slow road to national B20 availability Arizona Safeway trucks get pumped on biodiesel [Source: Safeway]
Is this tofu craze here to stay?
2008-01-18 16:20:00 Over the last few months, a lot of tofu has been cooked - marinated in a variety of sauces, sauteed with a plethora of spices, baked into crispy bars ... and pretty much every single option has been extremely palatable. I'd love to think I had something to do with it, but the truth is that tofu is the ultimate sponge! It absorbs spices so easily and then adds its own tinge - every mouthful ends up with this mishmash of flavours.Hey, speaking of Mishmash - Shn just celebrated a year of blogging, if you haven't had a chance to check out her fabulous cakes and cooking, run there right now :)Ok, back to tofu love ... I wanted to try something new, something different with the tofu - not the usual chunks. I started off thinking that I wanted to make some kind of fresh vegetable rolls - shredded and grated vegetables in a cabbage wrap, maybe? Hmm ... no cabbage! How about kale? Or chard? Nope! Low on greens :( Wait, there is spinach - would that work? Well, even somewhat large spinach l...
Blueberry Tofu Cheesecake
2008-01-17 03:54:00 Here's a recipe for a vegan dessert. In the past when I attempted to bake a tofu cheesecake, I used soy cream cheese, which is often available at selected groceries and health food stores. Tofutti makes a good dairy-free cream cheese that is available at Gristedes Supermarket. This time I tried an alternative and simply used silken tofu and soy milk.Ingredients:1 (12 ounce) package of soft tofu1/2 cup soy milk1/2 cup sugar1 tbsp vanilla extract1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crustsplash of lemon juice1 tbsp of arrowrootcup of fresh blueberriesDirections:Prepare the pie crust from scratch ahead of time, if desired. Otherwise, purchase pre-made pie crust. I recommend graham cracker or granola.Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Using a blender or food mixer, first puree the tofu until smooth.Add the remaining ingredients (except the blueberries) and blend until the mixture is smooth.Mix in the blueberries and pour the mixture into the pie crust.Bake for 60 minutes.Remove the cheesecake an...
