Thai Tofu Salad Yam Taohu Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook green onions for one minute. Add tofu, and continue cooking 4 minutes more, sprinkling with soy sauce halfway through. Gently stir in the peanut butter and ginger, being careful not to break the tofu, until well incorporated.
• Remove from heat, and toss in coconut. Transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• For the dressing:.
• Stir together the liquids with the sugar. Lightly crush & add the chilis & shallots to the liquid. Will taste hugely overwhelming - no worries. It is balanced by the tofu.
• For the salad:.
• Heat the oil over a medium-high flame in a large skillet. Author suggests cast iron - I use French stainless. Dry the tofu. Brown the tofu in the skillet - about 5 minutes a side. Flip and brown on the other side. Remove to drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the tofu (when cool enough to handle) thinly, about 1/8" or so.
• Toss the tofu and all remaining ingredients with the dressing. Alternatively drizzle with dressing or serve the dressing on the side in little bowls to dip a bite at a time (my fav).
• Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Steps:

• Grill or broil flank steak.
• Slice into thin bite size pieces.

• Serve on lettuce and garnish with coriander.

Steps:

• Combine the pork, garlic, and salt in a small bowl and mix until well blended. Set aside.
• Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Using a small teaspoon, drop small bits of the pork mixture into the soup (like mini meatballs) and bring the mixture back to a boil again.
• Add the tofu, bok choy, and season with the fish sauce, sugar and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes before removing from heat.
• Serve hot, garnished with the green onions and cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Cut stems from eggplant and cucumber, then slice both to about 1/4" thick. Cut larger eggplant pieces in quarters.
• Place eggplants and cucumbers in a bowl, coating all surfaces with salt and set aside for 30 minutes.
• Stir fry eggplants and cucumbers in 3 tablespoons of olive oil for around 5 minutes until slightly brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add the onions, chilies and bell pepper to the pan with the remaining olive oil. Stir fry for around 10 minutes. Clear an open spot in the pan and add garlic with a little salt and pepper. Heat for about a minute while stirring continuously; once the garlic starts to brown, stir in with the other ingredients in the pan.
• Add the tomatoes, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the reserved eggplants and cucumbers with parsley and cook, covered, for a further 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
