Recipe Description

Seriously delicious! Give ‘em a try.

Preparation Instructions

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the tofu, then break it up into very small pieces. Cook tofu for several minutes, until much of the liquid cooks off and tofu starts to turn golden.

Cut kernels off the cobs of corn and throw it in with the tofu. Cook for a few minutes (corn can remain crunchy.)

Add chili powder and soy sauce, then cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Turn off heat and stir in balsamic if using.

Pile mixture into romaine hearts, then add sliced of avocado. Fold up and chow down!

Ingredients

2 teaspoons Peanut Or Olive Oil
1 package (about 12-14 Oz. Size) Firm Tofu
2 ears Corn (or 1 1/2 Cups Frozen Corn Kernels)
¼ teaspoons Chili Powder (more To Taste)
¼ cups Soy Sauce
Romaine Lettuce Hearts
2 whole Avocados, Sliced
1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar (optional)

Oh gosh this was good – and I am not a tofu eater. I used extra firm tofu and decided the flavors were crying for an additon of cilantro which was great! Lo cal too – 1 serving calculated at 155 calories so I got to eat double! LOL

So Yummy, even my husband loved it! Perfect for Meatless Mondays. Will be making again soon!

This recipe was delicious. It is so quick and easy! I added a pinch of red pepper flake in the oil before sauteing the tofu to add a little kick. I would also recommend draining and patting dry the tofu before adding it to the pan for better/quicker browning. The tofu mixture was still good re-heated the next day!

This is fantastic! I added some rice and carrots also! My husband had three helpings!

This was truly yummy and a great thing to do with tofu. Might add a bit more soy next time, but it was delicious!

My favorite tofu recipe! This recipe works great for tofu tacos too!

As previous reviews have said, I drained and patted my tofu with paper towels until it was as dry as I could get it which helped with the browning tremendously. Added a little more soy as well. Omitted the avocado and did not miss it – a great way to incorporate tofu into the diet!

Yum!

I made this for dedicated vegetarians-and hungry meat eaters-and it is just SO GOOD. Try Bragg’s Amino Acids in place of soy sauce for lower sodium, more protein, and ALL the flavor.

I’m still on the lookout for the dairy free ice cream of my dreams. Until I find it, I’ll keep blending up fruit into popsicles.

Spicy Thai Peanut Vegetable Curry

by Andrea Taylor - TaylorMade Market and filed in Special Dietary Needs, Vegetarian

Serve with brown rice, jasmine rice or any type of noodle: rice noodles, mung bean noodles (which are gluten free), soba noodles, ramen (without the seasoning packet)—I have even used regular pasta in a pinch. Use whatever you have on hand. I made this version completely vegetarian (even vegan) but it would be delicious with grilled shrimp, sliced chicken, or beef.
