So I made this dish months ago, but never got around to posting…
My Yummy Soup Experiment
Category: Recipes Tags: lemon-pepper, Soup, Tofu, Vegan, Vegetarian
I recently discovered how delicious the pairing of well seasoned rice and tofu + vegetables blanched in unseasoned water can be. A “duh” notion for many, but a revelation to me. If your rice and tofu are flavorful enough, just adding the hot water your vegetables were cooked in will be enough to create a subtle broth. In my case, it was a welcome subtlety in relation to the intense flavoring of my tofu and rice. You’ll see why in a bit.

I’m almost at my second week as a Californian, and am in love with the 99 Ranch Market across the street from where I’m staying. After a quick foray into the shop, where I picked up all sorts of delicious culinary odds and ends, I quickly realized I had the makings of an Asian… coconutty… curry dish. After a little Google action, I came up with this Vietnamese Style Curry Soup, a very close iteration of a recipe found on allrecipes.com. This dish goes wonderfully with a side of brown coconut rice, which serves as a creamy offset to the spicy curry soup.
Scrambled Tofu!

I went to bed last night knowing that I wanted to prepare a hearty breakfast today; something a bit more substantial than the baked naan I’ve been having of late. After scanning my fridge for ideas — a little harder this week than usual, as I’m moving to the Bay Area next week and refuse to go grocery shopping — my eyes fell upon a hodge-podge of ingredients: an unopened package of tofu, a half empty package of mushrooms, piles of yellow onion and a bag of garlic.
Eureka!
Combined, these are the makings of a yummy veggie staple, scrambled tofu. I’ve been pretty loyal to a scrambled tofu recipe I found on theppk.com; I’ve gotta say Post Punk does it right. What you’ll see below is pretty darn close to the original recipe, though I tweaked a couple of things. You can find the original recipe on theppk.com. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Recipe: Fun With Fried Tofu
Category: Recipes Tags: Pescetarian, Tofu, Vegan, Vegetarian
I decided to test this recipe for fried tofu that I found on the Post Punk Kitchen website. I was scared to try this one; truth be told, my first go at frying tofu—maybe a year ago— was a disaster. Room temperature tofu dredged in eggy, tasteless batter, left in a pan till it stuck to the bottom. Needless to say I hadn’t tried it since. To be fair to all fried tofu lovers out there, I had no recipe, no real seasoning (maybe a little salt), and no concept of how to work with tofu. Thank goodness for do-overs.
