Tofu Steaks Recipe

Ingredients

Extra firm tofu
3 garlic pieces
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
Salt
Pepper

Directions

1. Remove extra firm tofu and pat dry with paper towel.
2. Cut the tofu into rectangular pieces, about 1-2 inches thick.
3. Add salt and pepper to both sides of each tofu steaks.
4. Add all purpose flour in one side of steak, then turn steak to other side. Add garlic to the other side and then add some all purpose flour on top.
5. Heat a pan with olive oil at medium high, add tofu steaks and allow each side to brown. Alternate each side until crisp and golden brown.

I ate the tofu steaks with a side of soy sauce and mashed potatoes. It’s nice and crunchy and not very tofu textured, so give it a try!

New Marcato Atlas pasta maker!

Really excited to make pasta. Luke can make it by hand, but I find it daunting. Hopefully pasta photos to come soon.

Ciabatta Bread

So delicious. It’s a hard bread to work with because it’s a little gooey before baking. Like many people have said, it’s definitely worth the frustration because ciabatta bread is so yummy! Maybe more artisian breads to come since we have a new pizza stone to work with in the oven.

If you’re a fan of spinach like me, you’ll like this simple dish. This is my take on Mungo Guisado, a Filipino dish, which I kept meatless. I added mung beans, baby bok choy, onions, garlic, and spinach. Different variations may include coconut milk, tomatoes, pork, shrimps, and green beans.
If you’re looking for something rich in fiber, this is a good start. One cup of mung beans and one cup of cooked spinach is 15 grams and 14 grams of fiber, respectively.
