Korean rolls & tofu
Yesterday I helped all day my friend Tae Hee with her project so today she brought me some delicious lunch! She's soo sweet! She prepared this simple rice rolls with Korean tofu, which consists, basically, in tofu (yeah!) and mushrooms.. all cooked in soy sauce and red pepper paste! wow.. that was awesome.. I'm sorry the picture is pretty crappy but I took it very quickly cos I was pretty hungry.. Have I already mentioned that it was really good!?? I'm thinking about something to prepare on Friday for Tae Hee and another girl which has been very nice to me, Francesca. But there'll be an update on that. ;)
Since I'm here posting I'm gonna write a recipe I'm very jealous about, something I use for showin' up with my non-vegan friends.. hehe.. It's similar to what Tae Hee made for me but I learned how to make it in Bahamas.. well, long story I guess.. ;)
Please try this and tell me how it was:
Korean Tofu (2 persons)
150 gr natural tofu
1 big potato in large pieces
1 large carrot cut up
1 large carrot cut up
1 large onion cut up
4 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon chili paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
salt to taste
Prep! Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet. Add garlic, chili powder and the paste and mix it. Add the tofu (I first fry it a bit). Add veggies after a few minutes. Add salt, sugar and soy sauce. Cover the pan and lower the heat. Cook until carrots get soft and add a bit of water if necessary.
Serve with rice.

Looks hot and spicy ... I see big amounts of chili powder and paste? Is Korean food that way I'm not familliar with this cuisine?
Hi Valentina!!
Oooh, that looks really good! I will try it! It looks spicy, but I suppose you can cut back the chili amounts to suit your taste. I like medium-spicy! :P I will try this one and let you know!
Your friends are so sweet to take good care of you! Tae hee's tofu rolls look really good!
Oh! And I made MORE hummus today from your recipe! Lol! I added a little walnut oil to it...it was really good!!
Hope you are doing well and not working too hard! (I bet you are!)
Hi Dori! yes! Korean food is really really spicy.. sometimes too much for me.. I still like to taste what I eat and not have my mouth on fire! haha! :)
Candi! I'm happy that you like hummus.. I eat it a lot.. it's like the jam on the bread.. everyday a little bit! and it's healthy! ;)
Gaia! I love tofu too!! and this is a good recipe! better than this I know only Curry Tofu... to be posted soon..
Hey, Korean tofu and rolls... that's nice!!! Woooo, spicy! I would take tofu prepared pretty much any ol' way... (vegan only, of course) and this would be a way that i haven't even HEARD of, much less tried yet so thank you!!
hi valentina!
This is MingChern from singapore.
I came across your blog when i was sourcing out for tofu recipes.
Being in an asian country, i've literally tried almost all permutations of tofu.
Silken Tofu, Firm pressed tofu, stinky tofu, tofu with meat, tofu with stir fry vege, you name it!
I'm simply in love with it! and glad everyone here also is! :)
Though the weird part is that i think i'm the only guy here? haha!
btw, i've started my website dedicated to tofu at mingchern.com, it's a lot of work.
I've created the skeleton and now inviting people to come to my place and post some recipes out.
Hope to have all of you here! :)
See you all at the other side! :)
regards,
Ming aka TOFU
