Tofu!!

Ohmygosh. So today? I made the most amazing tofu. I don't usually cook tofu.. maybe because Pete is more of a meat kind of man, maybe because if it's my house I douse it in soy sauce and gobble it up before I get a chance to actually cook it.. but today? Ooohhh, today. Today I made amazing cooked tofu. So, here's what I did.

Main Ingredients:
Olive Oil
Tortillas
Tofu (cubed)
Rice (already cooked)
Frozen Peas (or whatever veggie strikes your fancy)

Sauce Ingredients:
1/2 c. plain yogurt
1/4 c. milk
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1-2 Tbsp. curry powder (to taste)
2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. garam masala

Start heating some olive oil in a pan. Probably .... 1 Tbsp? Sounds like I know what I'm talking about, right? K. So. You heat up that oil. When it's hot, throw a tortilla in. Cook it until it's brown, then flip and brown the other side. When both sides are brown put the tortilla on a plate with paper towel on it. now, I'm sure many people would do this at the end, so their tortillas are nice and hot.. but I'm lazy and prefer to keep all my cooking to one pan. HA. (Back to our recipe here) Cook as many tortillas as you want, adding a dash of olive oil if you seem to be running out.

When you're done, make sure there's olive oil left in the pan, and it's hot. Nice and hot. Now, throw that tofu into the pan. It's going to hiss and spit and protest violently - but ohh it's going to get so yummy. Don't stir it right away.. the tofu will stick at first, but if you give it a minute or two to brown it won't stick anymore and you can stir away.

Now you have a pan with tofu cooking in hot oil (I was cooking mine on med.. med-high). Let those babies cook! they only need occasional stirring/flipping. While the tofu is cooking, mix up the sauce. Just throw all the ingredients into a bowl and stir. Here's an important note on the sauce though.. I cooked ~1/2 a cube of tofu, so you may want to double the sauce. There needs to be enough sauce to coat the tofu + more to mix with the rice.

When the tofu is nice and golden brown on a few sides, turn the heat down (med-lowish?) and add the sauce, then some rice and peas. Cook until the peas aren't frozen and the sauce has soaked into everything. MMmmmm....

To finish, scoop the whole mix into your fried tortillas, and eat. Isn't it yummy?!
