So today, I put a couple of random things together which ended up being a very yummy meal!
I marinated and crisped some tofu, and I made a fantastic smoothie for dinner today- both super easy and healthy.
Now, here is the thing about my smoothies. I recently bought a Vita Mix and it has changed my life and the way I eat. I never eat fruit as a whole fruit, but I will in smoothie form! On top of that, it pulverizes raw greens like I have never seen before. So i usually throw those in as well. I can't taste them, it just turns my smoothie green! Anyhow, this particular smoothie won't taste the same unless you use a high powered Blender like the VitaMix or a Blendtec brand blender. I would omit the kale if you are using a regular blender.
Crispy Tofu
Ingredients
- Extra firm tofu sliced about a 1/3 inch thick
- sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup soya sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
- dash of lime juice or vinegar
Mix together all ingredents except tofu and sesame seeds in a baking dish.
- Heat a cast iron or non stick pan with a couple tsp of oil on medium heat - swirl the oil around so it covers the bottom of the pan
- sprinkle some of the sesame seeds in areas where you expect to lay your tofu for crisping.
- Lay tofu on top and press lightly with a spatula. Sprinkle some more sesame seeds on top of the tofu slices.
- After 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is crispy and brown and sesame seeds have lightly brown and stuck to the tofu, flip and do the same thing to the other side.
