Sauteed Tofu Thing

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Sauteed Tofu ThingSo…I was hungry yesterday. And upon finding few things in the fridge that would go together all that well, I tossed this together. Do the ingredients work together? Uh, sort of. In retrospect, I would use firm tofu, but I was working with existing ingredients here.

Ingredients:
- 12oz box of soft tofu
- 1/2″ slice of red onion
- 2 tbsp. sesame oil
- furikake
- pepper

Directions:
Heat sesame oil in a small saucepan. Dice onion slice and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Slice or cube tofu and add to saucepan. Contemplate, for a moment, the tendency of soft tofu to crumble the second you so much as think about touching it.

Add furikake. Cover and simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and devour, not bothering to put it on a plate or anything because you’ll be done in less than 15 minutes anyway, and it’ll just be another thing to wash.

Coffee Beans in a Colander

Coffee Beans in a Colander

Coffee beans. In a colander. No, I haven’t been roasting my own beans or anything fun like that, although I would like to try someday. I was going about my daily coffee ritual as usual yesterday. Boil water, dump coffee into french press, fill press with hot water, brew for ~5 minutes. But in a classic morning-stupidity maneuver, I forgot one crucial step: grinding the beans.

I grind and press coffee every morning. You’d think I would have the process down by now.

Pita Taco. Taco Pita. Whatever.

Pita Taco. Taco Pita. Whatever.This was just a simple snack I put together in about 7 minutes with some leftovers.

The ingredients:
- pita bread
- cherry tomatoes
- leftover breakfast sausage
- salsa (Mrs. Renfro’s Habanero Salsa)
- sour cream
- green onions
- grated sharp cheddar

Conclusion:
Delicious. Would make this sandwich again, but with different meat (or none at all)–the sausage was a bit too salty.
