Tofu

I've never really eaten Tofu. My family all enjoys eating some meat, and so we have never really gotten into Vegetarian dishes. But when I started eating sushi, I encountered tofu in miso soup. After looking online for a recipe, and being unable to date to find miso paste, I found myself with a block of soft tofu with no idea what to do with it. Another internet search found me a recipe for crunchy soft tofu.

I decided to try the recipe out today. The actual coating for the tofu is simple: combine cornstarch, salt and pepper. I ran into trouble while frying the coated tofu; luckily, my brother came to the rescue and helped.

Once the tofu was cooked, we decided that it needed some kind of sauce. The one included in the recipe was out because we don't really like ginger. So we decided to cobble together a stirfry with the tofu, noodles, peppers and brocoli. All in all, it came out extremely well. We're going to try making it again tomorrow for supper (with baby corn added into the stirfry, too!), but this time with firmer tofu so it is easier to work with.
