THAI STYLE TOUFU

 THAI STYLE TOUFU



My first meat-free recipe on this blog! I love meat. Chances are that if there's no meat in a dish, I won't eat it........ Until I came across this! Toufu is a good source of protein. When fried till the outside is crispy, it's delicious! Add a good sauce on top with some shredded vegs, it tastes even better! That describes this dish to a T. This is how it's done.


Ingredients 

1 firm toufu, cut to bite sized pieces 

Big onions, sliced 

Carrots, finely sliced 

Cucumber, finely sliced 

Chilli, finely sliced 

Toasted crushed peanuts 

4 tablespoons that chilli sauce 

2 teaspoons lime juice 

Half a teaspoon corriander powder 

2 tablespoons sugar 

Some corn flour 


Method 

Coat the toufu pieces in corn flour and fry till crispy 

Mix the chilli sauce, sugar, lime juice, most of the crushed peanuts and corriander powder to make the sauce 

Toss the vegs into the sauce, making sure everything's properly mixed 

Put the vegs on top of the toufu, sauce and all, sprinkle the raider of the peanuts on top and it's ready to serve 


The nice zingy sauce, with the crisp vegs and toufu is a really nice combo, texture and taste wise. This is one vegetarian dish I just love to eat! If u can't live without meat and are too lazy, replace the toufu with chicken nuggets. It's good that way too! 

Enjoy everyone, and stay safe!


These recipes are good for those who want to cook for one or two without going all out but still wanting to enjoy good food. Simple to prepare and tasty food every time!

  CHAR SIU Now, just look at thise yummulicious goodness! Yes, it can be made at home too! In your oven toaster! you read it right! Oven toaster! That's how I make my char siu for one! The secret is all in the marinade, and I normally make enuf to marinade at least 1kg of meat, but after making the marinade, cook it for a while, till it boils and all the sugar is melted and it can be kept for months in the fridge. If u need to use it in small portions, follow the method below. Good enuf for a plate of wantan and charsiu noodles.
