SWEET-SOUR TOFU


Ingredients:


250 gm tofu, cut into cubes


1 green chili, sliced


1 large onion, finely chopped


3-4 cloves garlic


1 tbsp vinegar


1/2-1 tsp soy sauce


1 tbsp cornflour


1/2 tsp cumin


1 cup tomato ketchup


A few tsp chili/garlic sauce (optional)


2 tbsp oil





Serves: 4





Method: Put a thick-bottomed pan onto gentle heat. Pour in oil. After a few seconds, add chili and onion. Saut茅 till the onion begins to brown. Add garlic and cumin. As soon as the cumin begins to darken, add ketchup, chili or garlic sauce, vinegar and soy sauce. Raise the heat and let the mixture come to a gentle boil.





Meanwhile, mix the cornflour to a smooth paste with a few tablespoons of water. Add it to the simmering sauce along with as much water (probably 1/2-3/4 cup) as you need to make a smooth consistency.





Cook for a few minutes more, stirring continuously, and then add the tofu cubes. Simmer for another few minutes.





To make the dish more substantial, add boiled peas, potatoes, or even a combination of vegetables.

GOOD-HEALTH TOFU SALAD


Ingredients:


250 gm tofu, cut into small cubes


1 fresh medium-sized lettuce


1 large cucumber


1 large capsicum


1 apple


1 orange


A handful of sprouts


4 lemons


5 tsp honey


Salt and pepper to taste





Serves: 4-6





Method: Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Peel and cut cucumber into cubes. Chop capsicum into tiny bits. Peel and chop apple into small pieces. Peel an orange, remove the tough outer threads and as many seeds as you can. Cut orange into bits. Put these ingredients in a bowl. Add sprouts and tofu.





Prepare the dressing with lemon juice and honey. Add salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Serve immediately.





For an interesting variation, add pineapple instead of an orange. You could also add boiled potatoes.

TOFU-VEGETABLE BAKE


Ingredients:


500 gm tofu


2 cups mushrooms, sliced


1 tsp honey or sugar


1 large capsicum, sliced


4 onions, sliced


4-5 cloves garlic, finely sliced or crushed


1/2 kg tomatoes, unpeeled, pureed


1 pack tomato puree


A generous pinch of oregano


Salt, pepper, green or red chili to taste


Grated cheese


2 tbsp oil





Serves: 6





Method: Place tofu on a large plate or chopping board, tilted at an angle that will best allow excess moisture to drain away. Keep for 30 minutes, and then slice thickly, lightly butter a baking dish and put the tofu slices in it in layers.


Sauce: Gently heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or karhai or wok. Add the onions, using some of the green stems too. Add garlic, saut茅 for a few minutes. Add tomato puree and seasoning. Add 12 cup water. Cook for 10 minutes, or till the sauce has a thick, glossy consistency. Add mushrooms, cook for another 10 minutes. Take off the fire and stir in honey or sugar.





Pour the sauce over the tofu. Top with capsicum and cheese. Bake in a preheated oven (3500 F/1800C) for 20-30 minutes or till the dish is heated through and the cheese has melted.

I always got tofu stirfry when I was in college, it was amazing and I miss it so much! Just get semi-firm tofu and stir fry it in extra virgin olive oil with your favorite veggies (I always added pre-steamed broccoli, sugar snap pea pods, sliced mushrooms, shreded carrot, and sliced onion). Add a little bit of veggie stock and cover with a lid to steam for a couple minutes. Serve over rice and add soy sauce, or my favorite - orange sauce! (look in the salad dressing aisle at your supermarket, or the Ethnic Foods section). Enjoy!
portabello mushrooms, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar , 2 dashes, extra virgin olive oil, 2-3 dashes, grill on bbq, put on bun with lettuce tomato, very good, very easy, portabello done when grill marks look good and heated thru
Take tofu and slice it into pieces. Add olive oil to a frying pan and put the tofu in it on medium heat, then add your favorite vegetables like califlower, celery, cabbage, brocoli, red pepper, onions and mushrooms, then add braggs liquid amino acids. This is a good substitute for soy sause and it is good for you. Don't over cook the vegetables, just about 10 minutes is all you need to cook it for.
The best and definately easiest recipe for tofu and other vegetarian dishes is a stirfry.





All you have to do is cube the tofu (or buy it cubed) put it in a tupperware with some marinade and then chop some veggies with some soy sauce to throw in the frying pan with it. So simple yet so delicious.
