It’s been a long day (it started at 5:30 with a call to my publisher) so I’m going lazy for . I also just got my Recipe Tin Eats cookbook, so I’m trying one of the recipes in there - Teriyaki Beef Bowls! This is not authentic (it has beef mince), but I’m guessing it will be tasty, so don’t judge 😋

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

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.

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.

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? 🌶️

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@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@apobangpo.space avatar

Crisp that garlic!

rLok,
@rLok@apobangpo.space avatar

The garlic is crispy, now to crispy the tofu

First course done (fried chicken after)

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

It’s time! Tonight, I’m trying this recipe for Korean Braised Tofu, which I think will go well with the leftover bulgogi from last night 😊.

I haven’t tried this before, so it could be a disaster! I’m working off this recipe here: https://cjeatsrecipes.com/korean-braised-tofu/

Special mention to @asya who introduced me to this one!

I totally forgot to take progress photos tonight, but I tried a new minestrone recipe using our pressure cooker. Came out pretty well!

I used this recipe: https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-minestrone-soup/

Tonight’s meal is a simple one: somen noodles in a light broth with egg and ham. We went out to a food festival for lunch, so we needed a much lighter meal for dinner!

Tonight’s noms: Tuscan Chicken!

I haven’t made this for a little while because Mr 8yo doesn’t like it, but he has a heap of leftover carbonara tonight, so chicken for the adults 😊
