I lead keep created this recipe specially for my friends at Angie's Fiesta Fiday! I am looking forwards to tons of chit-chat, sharing as well as caring over the adjacent few days!!

Tofu as well as I lead keep a variety of a love-hate relationship. What is tofu? Tofu is basically edible bean curd that is made past times curdling soy milk as well as and then pressing I into a solid block, precisely similar the agency cheese ( paneer is made).

I similar the concept of tofu as well as all the adept things that it stands for, but I lead keep never come upwards to similar the gustation of it; until now! I lead keep tried incorporating tofu inwards my diet on several unlike occasions. I lead keep made scrambled tofu, I lead keep substituted it inwards house of paneer as well as made our traditional paneer dishes similar malai paneer, paneer chilli, I didn't similar it. I lead keep made stir-fry using Tofu; didn't similar it. For precisely about reason, it precisely didn't appeal to me. It tasted bland, weird.. I don't know.. Just non right. I used to oftentimes come across my real adept blogger friend, Sonal @Simplyvegetarian777 rustle upwards amazing tofu dishes. I would precisely hold off at her posts as well as allow them pass.

Then i day, I went out to dinner at this Korean eatery downtown. One of the dishes that nosotros ordered was rice amongst vegetables as well as something. The cite was quite fancy. When the dish was served it looked groovy as well as tasted out of this world! One of the items inwards that dish was slices of Tofu. It was therefore flavorful as well as delicious, I cannot fifty-fifty describe! Looking at that dish, I realized that the flim-flam for cooking Tofu as well as making it flavorful is marinating it right. Tofu is essentially bland amongst no detail taste. It is askin to an empty canvas. It imbibes the gustation of whatever sauce that you lot pose it in. This gave me a renewed conclusion to endeavour Tofu again!

I marinated it inwards a spices dearest barbecue sauce as well as grilled it inwards my grill pan over the stove top. The trial was a delicious tofu steak that is super-flavorful as well as made a wonderful side for my meal! The best purpose is that at that topographic point is non much prep involved as well as is super quick as well as slow to make! Perfect for a weeknight dinner. All you lot would demand to practise is at precisely about betoken ( read previous night) marinate the tofu steaks inwards the sauce as well as acquire out it inwards the fridge.
