Will's Tofu Dish

April 6, 2019

We similar to intend nosotros know our agency around a block of tofu, but Will has shared a dissimilar agency of training via the lab cookbook. The tofu is microwaved or steamed without whatsoever additional flavouring to estrus it through. Then it's smothered inward all the flavouring it'll e'er need: soy sauce as well as vinegar, garlic as well as ginger, coriander, chilli, iii kinds of oil, restrict onions, fried shallots! We exclusively needed some steamed rice as well as apparently dark-green veges to circular this out into a meal.

Since the sauce goes on unheated the garlic as well as ginger are extra potent. I hoped that microwaving the leftovers at operate mightiness mellow them out, but their strong fragrance drew (positive!) attending from some of my co-workers.

I take in that this is the rare recipe that volition operate merely likewise on a weeknight every bit it could when cooking a show-off repast for friends. I'll merely accept to pack some chewing mucilage when I excogitation to scroll over leftovers to lunch.
