Tofu Day!

Pan Fried Tofu With BBQ Sauce
I made this dish as requested by my son about a week ago.
I didn't post it as I thought it was similar to
Pan Fried Tofu with Orange Marmalade Glaze
I posted before.
I changed my mind because today is my "Tofu Day".

After cooking tofu with oil about 4-5 minutes each side until golden brown, add BBQ sauce to the pan and bring to bubbling. Cook about 5 more minutes until sauce coats the tofu well.

I had this tasty tofu with calrose rice, steamed broccoli & mushroom. It was soooooo yummy in my tummy!!!

Mushroom & Onion Salad


As you can tell, I still don't have enough of mushrooms. After I read "eat'n veg'n blog" last night, I told myself "THIS IS IT". I just love quick and easy recipe.



I asked Diann (aTxVegn) for permission to post this recipe and she kindly gave the okay. Yeah!!!



This salad is SUPER easy to make. Please go to
eat'n veg'n vegan food and recipes for the recipe.

I took this picture before I put it in the fridge. And after 4 hours of chilling, I just couldn't stop eating it. I had to pinch my arm to make sure that I was not dreaming. Wow! I thought I was in heaven!! It's not gonna get any better than this. Believe me!!!


Mushroom Noodle Miso Soup

I created this noodle soup last Thursday for lunch. I knew that I wanted to eat some more mushrooms. After searching my fridge, I came up with this quick & easy idea.

Heat a pot of 2-3 cups water to a boil. Stir in 1 tbsp white miso paste, mix well and then add portabella mushrooms, white button mushrooms, green cabbage and baby spinach, cook for 5 minutes. Add soy sauce or salt & pepper to taste. Serve over cooked rice noodle, drizzle some Sriracha Chili Sauce if you like it spicy. I loved it so much, I wished I could have made more.

Mushroom Time!



"Thai Style Vegetable Soup

I have been so much in love with "mushrooms" lately. I read from a Thai book that "eating mushrooms can help detoxify the body".Especially cooking together at least 3 kinds of mushroom at a time will give the body more protein than eating meats.
I found an authentic Thai soup mix called "Kaang Lieng" at an Asian market. This soup is a versatile soup for budget-conscious family, you can use any kind of vegetables you have.
The mix contains of salt, dried shrimp (sorry for those who don't eat shrimp), shallot powder, wild ginger powder, pepper powder, sugar, shrimp paste powder (sorry again)and chili powder.
It is very easy to make. You just boil 3 cups of water, add the soup mix and then the vegetables. For me, I put portabella mushroom, white button mushroom, abalone mushroom (canned), dried mushroom, carrots and green papaya. That's all. I don't really need to add anything else, the soup was soooo good. I thought I was eating it in Thailand!!
