The world of Tofu / 豆腐
The asian component with endless possibilites
I love cooking. After 7+ years as a vegan, tofu has become one of my favorite foods to experiment with. Tofu is a food made by coagulating soymilk. It comes in various textures, colors and smells. If you as many other, sees tofu as boring or tasteless I´m here to inspire you to think otherwise. As a vegan it´s the perfect subsitute for meat or cheese , as well as a perfect source of protein for whoever, vegan or not!

Mapo Tofu is a popular Chinese dish from Sichuan Province, where spicy food is king and the signature spice of the region. The Sichuan Peppercorn gives dishes a unique “numbing” effect. It’s almost like the Sichuan peppercorns are there to not only add their fragrance and flavor, but also to numb your tongue so it can take more heat!
Tofu katsu curry / 曰式炸豆腐咖喱
Katsu curry is a Japanese dish consisting of a pork cutlet (tonkatsu) served with a portion of Japanese rice and curry. It is served on a large plate and is typically eaten using a spoon or fork.

Tofu scramble
Why not try a tofu version of a classic brekkie?
You can use tofu as a egg replacer for a classic creamy scrubmle served with on the side of a freshly made toast. This one is so close to the real deal it will surprise you in more ways then one. Add tumeric to give the scramble a golden yellow and finish with black salt to get that "eggy" flavor.
