Tofu

billyhead

I purchased 300 grams of Tofu in the health shop earlier and was wondering would you have any suggestion for recipes or sides I could eat with it. I heard it tastes pretty bland on its own also.

I posted this on another thread.......

Peter Gordon is one of my favourite chefs and the following is his recipe...

Noodles with creamed seasme sweetcorn, crisp tofu and toasted walnuts.
Serves 2

250g tofu in cubes
100g sweetcorn
5 flo oz cream
2 tsp toasted seasme seeds
2 spring onions thinly sliced
flour to dust the tofu
salt
1/2 tsp paprika
40g walnuts
150g ramen noodles
Chopped chives

Try and get a robust tofu - the silken stuff is too watery and will loose it's shape. Drain it on some kitchen paper for 30 minutes to extract some moisture.

Cook the corn, cream, spring onions and seasme seeds until reduced by 1/3rd. Blend to a puree and taste for seasoning.

Mix flour, paprika and salt and dust the tofu. Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the tofu until golden. Remove, add a splash more oil and cook the walnuts.

Place some sauce on a plate, top with noodles and scatter the tofu and walnuts, sprinkle with chopped chives.

You might get better responses on the Vegetarian & Vegan section of Boards.

If you want me to move this thread there let me know, or if there are scant replies here in a day or so I will move it over.

To be honest, i think tis nice as long as its cooked - even just roasted with vegetable, peppers etc. it tastes pretty good. Lovely on pizza as a result!
