Hey Pete kitchen disasters

[Guest guest]

Always remember, each disaster is a step closer to perfection.  I could write

down my disasters for days in here. LOL

Wonder if they'll turn back ever,

contemplating what together,

poison dreams, assorted dreams, mushroom dreams.

it really is - i love it, and all the recipes here make it so much easier.... i

make one thing and think of four or five other variations and can't wait to try

them all, then i forgot what i am cooking and end up with a mess sometimes, but

hey, i'm having a blast... cooking is my relax time

Isn't it fun to experiment in the kitchen?

lol that's funny (ketchup)...

 

These were so good, i tried an experiment afterwards, since the kitchen was

already a bit messy..  i took a pack of extra firm tofu from the freezer

yesterday, i cut it open, squeezed all the water out i could, put it in the bowl

with the same ingredients as your f*sh sticks, and let it marinate for 30

minutes or so... then

 

in another bowl i made a very thick slurry with about 1/3 cup corn starch and 2

T soy, and a couple drops of liquid smoke (i'm on a smoked tofu kick lately) and

some pepper and some kombu powder

 

I made small patties with the tofu mixture, squeezing out as much of the liquid

as i could, then dunked those in the slurry, then

 

i dunked them in a corn meal / flour mixture and pan fried them in a small pan

(so the oil came up about 1/2 the height of the patties

 

It was almost just like battered salmon patties - in fact i flinched a little

because it was so much like the real thing - they were very good though, so

thanks!

Pete thank yopu for the review. Those are so tasty even kids like them. You know

how kids like to dip their food. My younger nephew would only eat them with

ketchup.

[vegetarian_ group] Review Donna's Tofu Fish Sticks

 

Second time making these - turned out great! First time i got too experimental

with the spices This time I used half Mrs. Dash spicy and half Old Bay and

the sauce is great too, tonight is the first time I tried it. I had Tofu f*sh

sticks, roasted beets with onion and vegan mac & cheese and some iced barley tea

 

Thanks donna!
