Mmm! You know how to do dinner right! 😋
@p3R1n01D Thanks! I really should have done a big pot of steamed vegetables with it, though. I just got lazy. 🤷♂️
@Ironworker229
You want lazy, come on over to my house! Remove cardboard, slit plastic film, nuke for 5 minutes. 😂
@p3R1n01D @Ironworker229 I make salted tofu in the oven a few days a week. Pull it out, weigh out 85 grams, add 85 grams of carrots and 50 of spring mix, shake it up and eat it and thats dinner 99% of the time, or an apple, and some bread with it for lunch.
No muss no fuss.
@p3R1n01D @Ironworker229 Cut the tofu brick in two horizontal so you have two thinner chunks, press it out for at least 15 minutes. Add some salt, then 400 degrees for 15 minutes flip it, then 15 more minutes then let it cool and cut it into cubes.
Very easy.
85 grams of Tofu will get hot in the microwave in about 45 seconds.
@NiveusLepus Nice! Though it's a bit off-menu for me (I've not done much with tofu). I love hearing folks' day to day recipes!@p3R1n01D
@Ironworker229 @NiveusLepus
I used to cook at a restaurant that served it, and I think I got burnt out on eating it. That was years ago though, I bet I'd like it again now!
It takes a little practice both in the cooking and the seasoning, but once you've got that down it is pretty easy.
@p3R1n01D @Ironworker229 the secret is to press your tofu with a tofu press or wrap it in a towel and sandwich it between plates and then put weight on it. It’s a sponge so it makes room for the marinade and flavor, as well as texture enhancement
@NiveusLepus @Ironworker229
That does sound easy, and tasty! I used to cook a lot more. I made a great "scrambled tofu" with veggies in a saute pan that only took a few minutes.
My favorite is Italian food. I used to make my own red sauce from garlic, garlic, whole Roma tomatoes, more garlic, fresh basil and oregano, etc. That was a lot of work, but so worth it! 😋
