Between favoriting, following, and retweeting the latest trendsetters, checking out my own Twitter profile page is a rare occurrence these days and updating my blog is even more farfetched. But when I stumbled upon my cobweb-covered blog today, I realized 1.) I need an update and 2.) most importantly, I have the perfect recipe to share! This week was my first experience both cooking AND eating tofu. First of all, the most important thing to remember is that tofu will taste like whatever you marinate it in. Tofu is made from soybeans, which don't have a lot of flavor on their own. I found this recipe on Cooking Light, which called to marinate the steak in a mixture of soy sauce and olive oil. The soy sauce paired nicely with the red bell peppers, mushrooms, and rice, giving the dish an overall asian feel. Also, cook on high heat, searing each side so it doesn't get overcooked.
This recipe called for extra-firm tofu which I was unable to find at my local grocery store, so I used medium-firm which I do not suggest. But overall, this was a great dish and the only thing I would do differently other than using extra-firm steak is that I might try cutting the steak horizontally to make it a little thinner.
Hopefully you will take my advice and try it at least once - and experience it for yourself! Below is the recipe - please feel free to comment :)
