GEM AND HERB SALAD WITH MAPLE, LIME AND SESAME DRESSING

  I used the salad leaves I had in the fridge, a combination of baby cos lettuce and mixed salad leaves. I also added the two green chillies as suggested. They were cayenne chillies from our garden but got rid of the seeds. They gave a nice crunchy texture to the salad. The dressing is soo good! One of these salads that can work very well as a side to many dishes. I have now made it several times and is turning into one of my favourites green salads. So yummy!!! Ingredients 2 baby gem lettuces, washed and leaves separated  10g mixed fresh herbs (I like to use a mix of coriander, mint and basil)  2 green chillies, thinly sliced into rounds (optional)  20g spring onion green ends, thinly sliced into rounds  2 teaspoons mixed black and white sesame seeds, well toasted, lightly crushed and tossed with some flaked salt  lime wedges, for serving Quick pickled shallots  1 shallot, thinly sliced into rounds 2 tablespoons lemon juice  ½ teaspoon caster sug...

PAN-FRIED TOFU WITH MUSHROOMS - DUBU JEON

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.

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...
