Donnna's Dragon Tofu

[Guest guest]

I'm so excited, I actually made Donna's " Dragon Tofu " for dinner last

night and it turned out really good!

Now, not because I doubted Donna's recipe, heaven forbid! I doubt

myself. I don't really like to cook (at all, in fact I've been known

to say...*cringe* I hate cooking!) Usually what I try to make does

not turn out, for whatever reason.

But this site has really helped me, tremendously! So I want to say a

BIG THANKS to everyone, not only for all the great recipes but also

for all the wonderful tips and hints to make cooking easier for

us " kitchen challenged " individuals!

I would have never tried the recipes without all you wonderful

people. You've been an inspiration. My husband can't believe I

actually have been cooking a few days a week. It's all with your

help.

Thanks again from the heart!

p.s. here is the recipe from the files if interested...

 

 

 

" Dragon Tofu "

 

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

1 Tbslpn. creamy peanut butter (I use crucnhy since that's my

favorite)

1 Package firm or extra firm tofu, drained (12 ounces) and don't

use silken tofu

1 medium zucchini

1 medium yellow squash

2 tsps. olive, peanut or canola oil

1/2 tsp. hot chili oil (found in most markets or Asian stores)

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups torn packed spinach leaves

1/4 cup coarsely chopped cashew or peanuts (optional) I use them

 

Whisk peanut butter and soy sauce together in a small bowl. Press

tofu lightly between paper towels and cut into 3/4 inch cubes. Place

a single layer in a shallow dish and pour the soy sauce- peanut

butter mixture over tofu; stir gently to coat all sides. Let stand

at room temperature for 20 mins. Cut zucchini and yellow squash

lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices and cut each slice into 2X1/2

inch strips. (Got that?) Heat skillet over medium high heat and add

oilve oil and also the chili oil, heat until hot. Add garlic,

zucchini and yellow squash and stir fry for 3 minutes. Add tofu

mixture and cook for 2 more minutes or until tofu is heated through

and sauce slightly thickens, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach,

remove from heat, (spinach will wilt up). Sprinkle with nuts and

serve.
