Tofu and marinade Jenn

[Guest guest]

Off to find you my favorite tofu marinade. It's a Korean recipe from a little

Hawaiian cookbook I brought back with me years ago, and the flavor is

divine.....Donna

For my tofu, I was in a hurry and just used soy sauce. I printed off some ideas

from our earlier posts but needed to find it for next time. I need to get

organized. I have so many things to try from the group's recipes.

 

Happy Monday, everyone.

Hi Jenn,

Happy you got to the Asian market. I grew up shopping in Asian markets and there

are still tons in my neighborhood. Pick up some udon noodles next time. In the

grocery store they are usually 1.59 a pack in the deli area or by the tofu. In

the Asian mkt. you can sometimes find them as low as 49 cents a pack. I toss the

flavor packet away because it usually has MSG. in it (read the label) and I use

the noodles as a quick soup with veggie broth and vegetables. There are quite a

few things I make with those noodles. I usually rinse them first to lower the

salt content. If you like sesame seeds you can get them for a good price. If

they aren't roasted it only takes a few minutes to toast the in a dry hot

skillet. They are bursting with flavor and I use them very often. My favorite

are the black sesame seeds. I'm sure you have eaten them before on the edged of

whole grain breads but never noticed or you thought they were poppy seeds.

What did you marinate your tofu in? ..............(;- ))) Donna

I went today, based on our conversations to an Asian Market. It is

new and located next to my fresh veggie place. The Asian place was

awesome. The girls were fussy so Troy and I rushed through. Trying

not to annoy anyone. Turns out the owner has a 16 month old little

girl. So our girls didn't bother him.

 

Anyway, I bought the correct tofu for baked tofu. Made it tonight.

I didn't marinate it long enough cuz I was too excited. But it

turned out!

 

Thanks for your help, everyone.

 

I'm going back to the Asian Market. I wish you all could come. I

couldn't believe how much cheaper the tofu was. Neat mushrooms and

spices. I do agree with someone who said they brought someone to

interpret. Maybe next time, I'll hit the owner up with some

information.

 

Have a great Sunday night. Loved the cookbook ideas. Maybe my

typed stuff is too impersonal. . .

Thanks for the korean tofu marinade. I'm excited and can't wait to make it.

Sorry for the delay. School started this week for my oldest and he is in

football. I'm running out of time.

" In the present position of the planets, it's impossible to say;

Just when I'll find my course again, with the boulders in my way.

I should be rolling down the skyway on my cosmic wheels;

Instead of stumbling down this highway on my boots of steel "
