Actor Xu Kai's promised he’d do a dance that his fans demanded if his latest series ‘Best Choice Ever' reached 30k on the ‘Heat’ Index on Tencent : r/CDrama

Today's happy highlight: my Suchwita LED lamp (from @/kiomiskorner on Instagram) arrived! Serendipitous story: the seller, Maggie, lives in the same neighborhood as I do, as in 15 minutes away. She and her family are also my regular clients here at our events place! So she took the opportunity to personally deliver the lamp to me, so we could finally meet. She's also a member of my Titas of BTS group! What are the chances, hahaha. I love it.

I’m finally trying the Korean Fried Chicken recipe! I think @GQB gave me this one?

@GQB it sounds like perfect breakfast food!

@GQB we used deboned chicken thighs and it worked well, but next time I’ll probably cut them in half

@GQB it was this one

Lol. Something I ordered (for delivery to Tasmania) started in Sydney, went to Melbourne (good), and then went to a sorting facility in Singapore.... uh.... huh?

Todays a special edition of as I attempt 3 recipes:

  • Salt and Pepper Tofu
  • Korean Fried Chicken
  • Braised Tofu*
  • I tried this a couple of weeks ago and shared it, but I’m trying again with salt reduced soy.

I’ll probably be slowly posting these all afternoon.

For the tofu, I’m attempting this Salt and Pepper Tofu recipe from The Woks of Life.

https://thewoksoflife.com/salt-and-pepper-tofu/

The first step is to brine the tofu. That’s done, so I’ll leave that for at least an hour before I come back to it.

rLok,
@rLok@apobangpo.space avatar

While I wait for the tofu to brine, I’m going to prep the veggies for all the dishes.

The recipes actually called for green chilli’s, but…. Birds Eye will be fine? Right? 🌶️

Oh, a friend came for dinner!

Veggies are prepped and rice is on, so I’m going to move on to the braised tofu while the tofu finishes brining (is that a word?)

rLok,
@rLok@apobangpo.space avatar

Alright, the braised tofu sauce is ready

rLok,
@rLok@apobangpo.space avatar

Hmmm. I probably should have used a bigger pan…

rLok,
@rLok@apobangpo.space avatar

Okay, the braised tofu is almost done. Now to turn my attention back to the salt and pepper tofu

rLok,
@rLok@apobangpo.space avatar

Tofu pieces coated in the spiced flour mixture. Now to start cooking

rLok,
@rLok@apobangpo.space avatar

Crisp that garlic!

rLok,
@rLok@apobangpo.space avatar

The garlic is crispy, now to crispy the tofu

rLok,
@rLok@apobangpo.space avatar

First course done (fried chicken after)

rLok,
@rLok@apobangpo.space avatar

Reporting back on first course:
Using the salt-reduced soy for the braised tofu made a huge difference over last time. Much more balanced.

The flavours are right for the salt and pepper tofu, but the balance is out. Too much sichuan and not enough salt. Also, not quite crispy enough. I’ll experiment with different tofus and more even coating

rLok,
@rLok@apobangpo.space avatar

@GQB thanks!

I’m thinking I might try this variation next time https://www.madewithlau.com/recipes/salt-pepper-tofu
