HOMECOOKING WITH TERESA

Tofu is one of these ingredients that many people either like it or hate it. Over the years, I have really enjoyed some dishes, but I have also tried really crappy ones. I now have a few recipes that I love and cook often. Tonight's recipe is a new one, and I must say that it is really yummy! It is a Korean recipe called 'Dubu Jeon', Pan-fried Tofu with Mushrooms from a cookbook called The Korean Table - from BBQ to Bibimbap. It is super simple to make, and even though the recipe has some beef fillet in it, you can make it into a vegan recipe if you omit the meat. Or, if you serve it for both vegans and meat eaters, you can always cook it and serve it on the side. The Soy Scallion Dipping sauce is a must, but it is also very simple to make from scratch. This recipe is certainly going to the list of my favourite tofu recipes. It is amazingly delicious!! 😍😋😋 Ingredients   500g firm tofu 2 Tbsp vegetable oil 75g rib eye or fillet steak, cut into thin strips (optional) 3 fr...

Tonight's meal is the Ottolenghi's Korma Feast. Gosh it was delicious 😋 ! I have been super tired with work and haven't felt much like cooking. We have not been eating very well in the last couple of weeks.... But tonight we really had a great meal even though I had to spend hours in the kitchen 🙄 . But it was worth it 😁 . Tofu meatball korma & Spicy berbere ratatouille with Olive oil flatbreads . All made from scratch. Just superb! The tofu meatballs are just amazing. I have leftover tofu and will make a batch and freeze them for another day. I can eat them just with no sauce or any other sauce. They would be lovely with some tomato base sauce or any curry sauce. But even with a side vegetable dish or salad.  My husband thought that they were made with mince meat!!  Yum yum! Ingredients ½ red onion, thinly sliced (60g) 2 tbsp lemon juice 40g cashews 20g blanched almonds 6 cardamom pods, shells discarded and seeds removed 2 tsp cumin seeds 2 tsp coriande...

  This recipe is just delicious and fills you up when doing a Fast Diet day. It is only 200 calories and can be eaten at lunch or dinner. This time I used vermicelli noodles, but will use soba noodles in the future. The vermicelli were a bit tough because I only soaked them in water and didn't cook them or boil. Also, I marinated the tofu using my own marinade mix. You can always freeze the leftover tofu for another occasion. Ingredients 80g dried soba or vermicelli noodles 120g sugar snap peas, trimmed and sliced 180g marinated firm tofu, thinly sliced 1/2 red capsicum, seeded and thinly sliced 60g Asian salad leaves or rocket & spinach leaves 4 tsp soy sauce 2 tsp mirin 1 tsp grated ginger Tofu Marinade 2 Tbsp kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) 1 Tbsp soy sauce 40ml Sriracha (or another savoury chilli sauce) 20ml sweet chilli sauce 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 tsp black bean chilli oil 1 tsp porcini Mushroom sauce 1/2 tsp crispy prawn chilli 500g firm tofu  Method First, marinate the ...

I don't particularly like tofu by itself, but I love it when it is cooked with nice sauces and it soaks up their flavours. This recipe was part of our pure protein diet, and the crusty slices dipped with the soy and ginger sauce, were very nice and tasty. The original recipe served the tofu with sliced baby cucumbers with ginger and mint and dressed with mirin and sesame oil. INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup white chia seeds 2/3 cup quinoa flakes ( I couldn't get them so I used parmesan instead) 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs sea salt and cracked black pepper 1 egg or 2 egg whites 600g firm tofu, drained and thickly sliced 1/4 cup vegetable oil Dipping sauce 1/2 tsp sesame oil 1/4 cup mirin 2 tsp finely grated ginger 2 Tbsp Japanese soy sauce 1 tsp sweet chilli sauce METHOD: To make the dipping sauce, place all ingredients in a small bowl.
