johnart said: CarrieMpls said: Yay! What did you make? I've been on this WOK kick. I'm trying to get us to mostly do lean proteins and veggies. I'm also figuring I can introduce tofu and cut the meats (well, chicken and pork, for the most part) back. I marinated the tofu in some teryaki for about 30 minutes, then stir fried it and simmered int in this chinese tofu sauce I tried at the International market (I threw out the box  ). With some mustard greens (the kind that's hard and round almost like a little head of lettuce) some green peppers and scallions. And I made some green beans with it.
I'm mostly playing around. I need some tofu recipes now that I'm feelin sassy. Sounds like you've got the right idea. I usually eat some kind of tofu or seitan stir fry 3-4 nights a week. As long as you go easy on the oil, it's really sooooo good for you. And yummy too. And yes, I press the moisture out too, like Erin said. I just wrap in paper towels and lay something heavy-ish on top while I'm chopping my veggies. |

I could pour myself one... I know it's not the same. though. that thing about you sharing a surname with a famous brand of wine was coincidence, right?  |

johnart said: PunkMistress said: I like to press the moisture out of the tofu, cube it, toss it lightly in cornstarch, and panfry it in a little hot oil til it's browned and crisp on the outside. Then I add it to stir-fried veggies with a sauce. Gives the tofu a much more pleasing consistency, esp. for people who are used to the chewiness of meat. Good tip! Thanks! I stir fried it just to toughen the consistency (the sample I'd had was just simmered). It came out good, but next time I will press the moisture out first.  Yeah, marinating and simmering without frying first won't give you that bite that fried tofu has. Lots of people do like the softer/juicier tofu consistency without frying, though. If you guys like it by all means make it that way; it uses less fat anyway. | |

I usually fry mine first, then set it aside and do everything else, then toss it back through the last few minutes to warm it through again. You get that nice, chewy consistency that way. And I always buy extra firm. I even found SUPER firm once, and it really was. It was sprouted tofu, so even more protein packed and all. I will buy it again at some point, but it was a little pricier than my usual (which I can get a block for 99 cents at the asian markets here). |

i'm on my phone, so no pics, but I am enjoying wine and hope Punk Mistress is doing better. About 1.5 bottles in currently. Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |

This is all I got now. The bags under the eyes are an indicator of new Prince music.  (grin) See, I just like people with faces. GOOD pics, Mars >> |
