TAHU OR TOFU

Tahu or Tofu is one of my favourites food. You could do so much with it, from steamed, sauteed, braised to fried.  Served as salads, garnishes or cook with other ingredients and served it as the dish such as Tahu Guling (Pan-fried tofu mixed with vegetables, bakwan, dressed with sweet and salty soy and garnished with prawn crackers.  It is a delicious light meal.

Firm Tofu

It is a firm fried tofu which is available in an Asian grocery, and I prepared it for a salad and garnished with yellow rice.

(Mix together and keep aside)

The Vegetables (as you like it)
Tomato, cucumber, cos lettuce, lemon basils (all shredded)

The Tahu: chop and heat it up in a pan fryer or in Microwave.


Place the warm tofu in a bowl,  add the dressing, toss together and add in the mixed vegetables, now mix together.

Serve the tahu salad - tofu salad straight away and garnished with the rice.

Tahu Salad with  Soy Dressing

Dressing for tofu could be done differently, dressed cooked tofu with lemon juice, vegetable oil and fresh herbs.  Delicious dishes for tofu, cooked and braised in spiced coconut milk, mashed tofu, mixed with mung beans and egg to make tofu balls and deep fried.  However, not everyone can take tofu on their diets.  My family loves tofu, I cook them often.

Light, Fresh and DeliciousTahu Salad

It was such delightful lunch a treat after a hard going in the morning.

By the way, thank you, Melanie, for the tahu, the puff and the fresh white tofu are resting in the freezer.  I could not find the variation of tahu over here.  Such a thoughtful gift Mel!

There are a lot more Tahu dishes that I could prepare, and I will do it one day.  If you are so keen to cook using tahu or tofu, please look on my older posts.  Type: Tofu to search.  You will find tofu salad, stuffed tofu, vegetarian dishes, sauteed tofu and so on.  Enjoy!

It is a very short post but sweet enough.  The tahu salad could easily be prepared, as tofu is available in any supermarkets (you may have to pan fried if the same tofu as I had is not there).   Have fun in the kitchen!
