	CUBAN TOFU SALAD

		Ingredients: ------------ 1 lb firm tofu 1/3 cup nutritional yeast with salt, pepper, and paprika added to taste oil 1 lb new potatoes 1 good-sized sweet potato or yam (6-8 inches long) 1 mild tasting apple (Golden Delicious is good), sliced or chopped 4 eggs, hard cooked, sliced 1/2 cup green peas, cooked until still slightly firm 1/2 red onion, finely chopped 1 can asparagus tips mayonnaise (about 3/4 c.) about 2 tblsp dill weed vinegar, mustard, or "Durkee's special sauce" Instructions: ------------- 1. Cut tofu into 1" squares, 1/2" thick. Coat with nutritional yeast. Fry in oil over medium heat until golden brown and slightly chewy. Drain on paper towels. 2. Cut potatoes and sweet potatoes into 1" cubes. Boil until tender. Drain. 3. Mix together tofu, potatoes, apple, 3 of the eggs, peas, and onion. Add enough mayonnaise to make it creamy or to taste. Add dill weed, fresh if possible. Add enough vinegar, prepared mustard, or Durkee's Sauce (basically a mustard-vinegar sauce) to give it a tang. 4. Garnish with additional egg and asparagus spears. Sprinkle with paprika for beauty. Variations and substitutions: ----------------------------- Broil the tofu to reduce fat. It won't have a nicy chewy texture, though. Substitute chicken for the tofu (as in the original recipe). Substitute plain, non-fat yogurt for some of the mayonnaise to reduce fat content. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: shjnaga@ncsc.org (Rodney Shojinaga) MABO TOFU ========= (Serves 2) Ingredients: ------------ 1 tblsp corn or soy oil 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/4 cup minced leeks, scallions, or onions 1 tsp minced red chilies 4 shitake, soaked and sliced 1/2 cup water, stock, or dashi 1 1/2 tsp sake 2 1/2 tsp shoyu 1/2 tsp salt dash of sansho or 7-spice chili powder 1 1/2 tsp ketchup 24 oz tofu, cut into pieces 1 1/4" square by 1/2" thick 2 tsp cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tblsp water 1 tblsp minced leek or scallion greens Instructions: ------------- Heat wok or skillet and coat with both types of oil.

Mix the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add the tofu cubes and toss till coated. Saute in a large skillet, with: 2 tblsp oil (I used a little bit more with a little water added) When tofu is golden and crisp, stir in: 1 1/2 cups onion, chopped. Continue cooking 3 minutes then add: 1 cup carrots, sliced 1 cup celery, sliced 2 tblsp water (again, I used a little bit more). Cover the pan and cook over medium heat. Stir gently, every minute or so, till the carrots are just tender. Remove from heat and stir in: 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen Gravy: ------ 3 tblsp margerine 4 cups mushrooms, sliced 1/4 cup whole wheat flour 1 tsp each: salt, sage, garlic powder 1/2 tsp each: thyme and paprika 1/4 tsp black pepper 2-3 cups water Melt margerine in a large saucepan, then add the sliced mushrooms. Cover pan and saute over medium heat till mushrooms are soft. Stir in flour and seasonings and cook over low heat 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in water and simmer, uncovered, till gravy is thickened - about 10 minutes. Mix half the gravy into the tofu and vegetables. Set remainder aside. Crust: ------ 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour 1/2 cup wheat germ 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup margerine (about 1 stick, though I used only 3/4 stick) 6 tblsp cold water Note: This wasn't enough for me, in a 9 inch pan, so increase it by half! Combine flour, wheat germ, and salt and stir to mix. Cut in margerine till mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add cold water all at once and stir just enough to form dough into a ball. Divide in half and roll first half out on a floured surface. Place in a 10-inch pie plate. Roll out remaining half of dough and set aside. Spread tofu and vegetable mixture into the dough-lined dish (this was too much for my 9 inch casserole dish. Since it didn't fit, I reserved something like 1 1/2 to 2 cups as a topping for when it was cooked, as a sortof makeshift gravy. Using a larger pan would probably work as well, if not better).. Pour remaining gravy over top and cover with top crust. Fold edges of top and bottom crusts together and pinch to form edge. Cut 4 to 6 1-inch slits in top crust to allow steam to escape (my method is to just flatten pieces of dough and place over pie. Where the pieces overlap there is usually a gap of some sort for steam and juices to bubble through). Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350, and bake an additional 20 to 30 minutes, till crust is nicely browned.

Stir in the chopped walnuts and shredded tofu. When heated through, stir in lemon juice and soy sauce. Remove from heat. To make mashed potatoes, place cubed potatoes in saucepan and cover with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, and then simmer until potatoes are soft. Drain, saving hot potatoe water to use in the gravy. Mash the potatoes with butter and milk. Salt to taste. For the gravy, heat the oil in a skillet. Stir in the mushrooms, soy sauce, and black pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender. Add 1 1/2 cups potato water and bring to a boil. Slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook at a low boil, continuing to stir, until th egravy is clear and thick. Oil a 9-inch square casserole dish [maybe bigger; mine boiled over - ek] or use a 10-inch round cast-iron skillet. Layer the tofu mixture, then the mushroom gravy, and then the mashed potatoes. Dot the top with butter or margarine. Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes, until the top becomes golden. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: Andrea@hivnet.ubc.ca SPICY PEANUT TOFU ================= Ingredients: ------------ 1 lb med. firm tofu 1 onion 1 tblsp fresh grated ginger 1 carrot diced 1 stalk celery diced 1 can sliced water chestnuts drained 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup water 1 tsp chili paste with garlic (available in Chinese food-stores) 2 tblsp sugar 1 tsp vinegar few dashes chili powder 1 tblsp soy sauce Instructions: ------------- 1.

Measure out about two cups for two blocks of your tofu end-product. Wash the beans, then cover them with about 3" of water and refrigerate overnight. Step Two: --------- Using your blender, add about 1 cup of beans with about two cups of water (you can use some of the water from the soaked beans, then make up the difference with ordinary tap water). Grind the mixture in the blender until the beans are about the texture of coarse coffee grounds. Line the strainer with cheesecloth, then put the strainer over the pot. Pour the mixture into the strainer, then squeeze until dry. Reserve the grounds, which will become your okara. Repeat with remaining beans. Step Three: ----------- Put the pot containing the strained milky mixture on the stove and stirring constantly as you bring to boiling. Watch this carefully, as this has a tendency to boil over very quickly. Reduce heat and keep at a low boil for about ten minutes. Step Four: ---------- Add nigari--about 1-1/2 teaspoons--to the pot, and stir well. You'll see the milky mixture forming curds. When the mixture seems to have curdled (about a minute), remove from heat. Step Five: ---------- Line strainer with a clean piece of cheesecloth, and pour in the curdled mixture. Discard the water. Wrap up the curdled mixture in the cheesecloth, and squeeze tightly to remove any remaining water. Step Six: --------- Let the curdled mixture (your tofu) firm up as it cools, about 20 minutes. Once cooled, you can remove the cheesecloth and store the tofu in water in the fridge until it's ready to be used. Step Seven: ----------- To prepare the okara, spread the soy grounds on a cookie sheet, and bake for about 20 minutes in a250-degree (F) oven. Check it to make sure it turns a nice golden brown color and doesn't burn. Note: ----- This recipe makes a super-firm tofu that's great for stir-fried recipes, when other types of tofu would break up into unrecognizable pieces. I like this tofu especially for tostadas -- I stir-fry onions, peppers, tofu, turmeric, cumin, garlic, and oregano for the filling. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: phillips@sparky.mit.edu (Mike Phillips) TOFU ==== Boil a bunch of soybeans in a big pot until they get soft. Mush them up somehow - a blender does a good job. You should keep enough water in the pot so the resulting mush is fairly liquidy - maybe like a thin milkshake. Strain the resulting mush somehow - a few layers of cloth or a fine strainer depending on how finely you mushed stuff up. Try to squeeze out all the liquid. Put the solid part in the compost or feed it to your pigs or whatever. Put the liquid part back in the pot and get it boiling. By the way, you now have soy milk - you can just stop now and drink it if you'd like. Now comes the fun part, you need to put something in the boiling liquid to make in coagulate. The normal thing for tofu is called Nagara (Ok, I don't know how to spell it). Anything acidic (lemon juice, lime juice, hot pepper juice, etc) will work but of course it'll alter the flavor a bit. Just put in enough coagulant (while stirring) until the stuff coagulates. It might take a few minutes. Turn the heat off and let it sit for ten minutes or so, then pour it through some cheesecloth. You can rinse the curds off to remove some of the flavor of the coagulant - taste them first to see if you need too. Press the solid part with some form of weight. The longer and harder you press it, the firmer it'll be. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% TOFU ==== Soak 2 cups of dried soybeans overnight, then drain & rinse them, and combine them with an equal volume of water a cup or two at a time in a blender, and whiz them until smooth (about 3 minutes.) This batch of puree is then poured into a pot which has 8 cups of water brought to a boil, and is returned to a boil and then reduced to medium heat, and cooked & stirred until "the foam rises". Then, the liquid is poured through a cloth-lined colander, and the excess liquid is squeezed from the cloth, and the stuff in the cloth (called okara), is saved for another interesting experiment someday (more on that later), and the milk is put back in the boiling pot, and brought back to a boil & cooked for another 5 minutes. This netted me a little over 1/2 gallon of soy milk (actually 1/2 gal. plus a large [16 oz.] drinking glass), which I promptly refrigerated. Please note: if I had been following the complete tofu recipe, I would have added the solidifier at this point (1 teaspoon of nigari dissolved in 1 cup of water), but I have neither nigari nor tofu pressing containers or supplies, but maybe next time... %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: gph@hpindda.cup.hp.com (Paul Houtz) TOFU BACON ========== Ingredients: ------------ 1 lb firm Tofu, cut into strips shaped like bacon 2 tblsp nutritional yeast 2 tblsp tamari/shoyu 1 tsp Wright's (or other brand) liquid smoke. 1 tblsp oil (something neutral, not olive or sesame) Instructions: ------------- Fry tofu strips on low or medium heat until they are crispy on the outside. The best way to do this is to lay them in the pan in the oil and let them sit for at least 10 minutes, simmering. They should turn easily after that. Turn them and give them another 10 minutes on the other side. Mix the tamari/shoyu soy sauce with the liquid smoke first, then take the pan off the heat. Pour the liquid smoke/tamari into the pan and stir the tofu so all sides are coated, then sprinkle the yeast over all, stir some more, over the heat, until the liquid is gone and the tofu is covered with sticky yeast. Try it. It tastes EXACTLY like bacon. Another variation is to marinate the tofu in the tamari/liquid smoke mixture for several hours and then fry, but it misses a little bit without the nutritional yeast. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: allison@Ingres.COM (Allison Fink) TOFU BOURGUIGNON ================ Ingredients: ------------ 2 lbs. firm tofu, cut into 1 in. squares 1 1/2 cups of dry red wine 1/4 cup tamari 4 cloves of garlic, pressed water as needed 2 tblsp olive oil 2 cups sliced onions 4 cups sliced mushrooms 4 bay leaves 1 tsp thyme 1 tsp tarragon 4 tblsp whole wheat pastry flour Instructions: ------------- Place the pieces of tofu in a large, shallow dish. Mix together the wine, tamari, and garlic. Pour the mixture over the tofu, add water as need to cover it, and let it marinate for at least one hour. If the tofu is going to marinate for more than an hour, place in the refrid. Place the marinated tofu on a well-oiled cookie sheet, reserving the marinade. Bake at 375oF for 35-45 minutes or until crispy and brown. Turn the tofu over once during the baking so that it browns on both sides. While the tofu bakes, heat the oil in a large pan and slowly saute the onions. When the onions are almost tender, add the mushrooms and the herbs. Saute for a few minutes more. Add the flour and mix well. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in a little of the marinade. Continue stirring until a paste is formed. Return the pan to the heat and slowly add the remaining marinade, stirring constantly. Add the baked tofu and simmer until thickened. Serve over pasta, rice or millet. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: richichi@lamar.ColoState.EDU (Mike Richichi) TOFU JERKY ========== Ingredients: ------------ 1/2 cup soy sauce 3-4 tblsp liquid smoke 1/8 cup water 1 tblsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder (or 1 clove crushed fresh garlic if you're brave) 1 tblsp (or more) fresh ground black pepper (be liberal with this) 1 tsp honey (or some other sweetener, or skip it) 1 lb firm or extra firm tofu Instructions: ------------- Cut and drain the tofu. I usually take a 1 lb cube, cut it in half, and then slice it into strips on its short side. Strips should be about 4-5 mm in thickness. They may look big, but they'll shrink to about half their size. Mix all the marinade ingredients together well. Put the tofu in a single layer in a shallow baking pan or cookie sheet and pour the marinade over it. Let soak for several hours or overnight. Drain excess liquid (and reuse!) and dry tofu in food dehydrator or warm (200 F) oven. This will take probably 4-8 hours, depending on weather. If you live in a sunny, dry climate (Colorado in the summer), you can sun dry it, it'll take all day. If you dry indoors in the winter, your house gets filled with a wonderful smoky smell. If you're drying in the oven, you'll need to flip the tofu over hourly so it dries evenly. The stuff is delicious and keeps indefinitely. Dry the stuff until it's very chewy, but not crispy. Be creative: ------------ Use low-sodium soy if you want less salt (it is rather salty) Use tabasco or ground cayenne if you want it hot. Chili powder makes chili jerky. Oregano and basil makes pizza jerky. The possibilities are endless. Just have fun with it! (All measures in this recipe are approximate, adjust all of them to taste or requirements.) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: mkay@sequent.com (Mary Kay Petersen) TOFU SPAGHETTI BALLS ==================== Ingredients: ------------ 1 lb tofu 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped or ground in dry blender 2 medium onions, minced 1/2 cup quick cooking oats 2 tblsp chopped parsley 1 tsp dried basil 1/2 tsp dill weed 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp thyme 2 tblsp soy sauce 1 tblsp corn starch 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 2 cups tomato or spaghetti sauce Vegetable oil, for browning Instructions: ------------- Wrap tofu in cloth or paper towels for a few minutes to remove excess water. Mash and mix well with all ingredients except oil and tomato sauce. Form into 24 small balls and flatten slightly as you place them in an oiled baking dish. Sprinkle a little oil on each. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes, turning once to brown both sides. Spread tomato sauce over balls. Bake at 350 for an additional 15-20 minutes. Serve over pasta or on French bread as a sandwhich. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: mdcolby@octavo.ucdavis.edu (Michael) TOFU WITH 3 SPICES ================== Ingredients: ------------ 1 tsp cornstarch (or arrowroot) 1/2 tsp sugar (optional) 3 tblsp cold water 3 tblsp soy or shoyu sauce 1 tblsp sesame seed oil 1 lb. firm tofu 3 tblsp oil 1 tsp minced garlic 1 tsp grated fresh ginger root 2 scallions, diced (or 4 tblsp diced onions) 1/2 tsp salt Instructions: ------------- Drain the tofu, then cut into 1 X 1 X 1/2 inch pieces. Drain again. Heat a skillet or wok. Add the oil and heat about 30 seconds. Add the garlic, ginger, scallions and salt. Stir fry about 30 seconds. Add the tofu. Stir fry about 2 minutes. Mix together the cornstarch, sugar, water, soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the mixture to the skqillet and stir well, then cook about another 30 seconds. Serve with or over rice or noodles. Helpful hints: -------------- Ginger root is wonderful, but may not keep well in the refrigerator. Keep it wrapped in plastic in the freezer and pull it out and grate as you need it. It will keep a long time and is still delicious. Scallions are best, but regular onions will do in a pinch. The original recipe called for Worchester sauce and soy sauce, but I substitute all soy, because, as well all know, Worchester contains anchovies.
