Tofu Pastry Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine frozen mixed vegetables, potato, cauliflower and water. Cover and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes or until potato is almost tender; drain. Cut tofu into 1/2-in. cubes; pat dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, combine cornstarch and onion salt. Add tofu and toss to coat. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add tofu; cook until crisp and golden brown, 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from pan; drain on paper towels. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, soup, milk, thyme, pepper and salt until combined. Stir in vegetable mixture and tofu. On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim even with rim. Add filling. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Bake on a lower oven rack until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 45-50 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except the oils in a large bowl with some seasoning and mix well. Heat both the oils in a frying pan. Grease an 8cm metal pastry ring or cookie cutter and place in the pan. When hot, pour 5 tbsp of the batter in and turn the heat down to medium.
• Cook 4-5 mins until golden, then take off the ring (be careful, as it may be hot), flip the pattie and cook the other side. Do this in batches, keeping finished patties warm in a low oven. Serve with the chilli sauce and extra spring onions, if you like.

Steps:

• Sift flour and baking powder.
• Make well in the centre.
• Combine tofu and oil and add to the"well".
• Add water.
• Work the mixture until a soft dough forms.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead 30 seconds only.
• Use immediately.
