Tofu bites

[Guest guest]

I took a recipe from this month's vegetarian times, and changed it. It is

probably the best thing I've cooked, yet, about a half hour after I ate it, I

felt a burst of energy, so I might try this with cream cheese.

 

Here's what I did:

 

2 ounces of tofu,extra firm, light, drained, and mixed with a bit of oregano,

basil, red pepper, and sprinkled with nutritional yeast. I then mixed it up

really well,and I put it into a rectangle, on tin foil, about 1/2 inch thick. At

the same time, I put 1 cup of crsip rice cereal,and red pepper, into the food

processor,and created crumbs.

 

I mixed aobut a teaspoon of water, with an egg white, and then, I baked the

tofu, uncoated, for about 10 minutes at 350, to set it. I let it cool. I cut it

into small peices, about an inch each.

 

After I removed it from the oven, I dipped the peices in the egg white,then into

the cereal mixture. I put the toaster oven on 400. Once it was heated, I cooked

the coated tofu for 15 minutes. I warmed about 2 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce,

and used it to dip the tofu peices in.

 

Wow, it was good. But I felt a burst of energy I'd never had, except when I ate

tofu at the resturant. (feels like caffine, kind of nice, actually, for this

time of day). So,I might try it with cream cheese. It might be the nutritional

yeast doing that to me. But it was really good.
