RoseE - tofu omelet with zucchini

[Guest guest]

I have NO! luck browning tofu. Silken or regular.

Usually there is just too much water.

 

I'm sending this recipe as a quick idea for those of you who can cook tofu.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 small zucchini

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil -- or more as needed

or olive oil

8 ounces tofu (bean curd) (8-10-oz) -- (1 package)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives

salt and black pepper

fresh parsley (optional) -- for garnish

 

1. cut the zucchini into thin slices (1/8-inch thick). Heat oil in non-stick

skillet and add the zucchini slices in a single layer. Let cook over low heat

while you prepare the next step.

 

2. Drain the bean curd, break or cut it into chunks and place in a food

processor with soy sauce, turmeric, chives and some freshly ground pepper. Whiz

to a thick, creamy consistency. Taste and add a little salt if necessary.

 

3. Turn the zucchini slices over then pour and spread the bean curd mixture over

the top of them. The base will brown and set but will tend to stick to the

bottom of the pan so you will need to ease it away gently as it cooks. Once the

base is done (darkly browned), flip one half of the omelet over the other in the

pan. Carefully lift it out, cut in half and serve.
