Vegetables Stuffed Tofu Pouch 蔬菜油豆腐包

Every summer, hassle-free cooking becomes the preferred mode in the kitchen e.g. <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2011/08/zucchini-wrapped-quinoa-sushi.html">Zucchini Quinoa Sushi</a>, <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2015/06/korean-spicy-cold-chilled-tofu.html">Korean Chilled Tofu</a>, <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2014/10/no-cook-tomato-sauce.html?m=1">No-Cook Tomato-Sauce Pasta</a>.<br /><br />This summer, I made <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/07/mixed-green-salad-with-avocado-dressing.html">Mixed Green Salad with Avocado Dressing</a>, <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/06/watermelon-feta-cheese-pizza-salad.html">Watermelon Feta-Cheese "Pizza"-Salad</a> and these stuffed tofu pouches. <br /><br />These easy-to-make <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/search/label/Vegetarian">vegetarian</a> pouches are sure to excite your guests if you are holding a family gathering or party.<br /><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3874/18439408554_88c5aba48d_z.jpg" /><br /><br />Tofu pouches/puffs is quite a common ingredient in Chinese cooking especially in braised dishes in which the tofu pouches will absorb the flavors of the braising liquid.<br /><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/449/19035692766_8c0faf3e83.jpg" /><br /><br />The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aburaage">tofu skins/pouches</a> are also quite often used in making Japanese <i>Inari </i>Sushi. So, try your luck finding these tofu pouches in Chinese and Japanese supermarkets.<br /><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/559/18439408154_1f0695ddfc_z.jpg" /><br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/267/18875763469_44fb2b3dc6_o.jpg" /><br /><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=anestofo-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B00VMGTDY0&asins=B00VMGTDY0&linkId=EEPVUUGNJD3SEOAN&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 120px;"></iframe><b>Vegetables Stuffed Tofu Pouch 蔬菜油豆腐包</b><br /><i>Ingredients</i>:  <br />3-4 tofu pouches, prepare according to instructions. <br />1 cup organic corn and organic edamame<br />1/2 zucchini, finely shredded<br />1/2 cup cooked <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2013/07/couscous-sushi.html">couscous </a>(<span style="color: blue;">Note</span>: You can make traditional sushi rice as well.

After 2 minutes, squeeze the puffs to remove the water, then cut the pouch at the one end and open up the tofu like a hollow pouch (shown above). Spoon some cooked couscous on the bottom, then stuff with zucchini, corn, and edamame. Serve with some chili sauce.<br /><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3679/19056345302_aac3b785ee.jpg" /><br /><br />Sharing with <a href="http://www.21stcenturyhousewife.com/">Hearth and Soul</a><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;">Tag: </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/vegetables+stuffed+tofu" rel="tag">vegetables stuffed tofu</a></span><br /><script src="https://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">FB.init("ea808497442c6dbff6ecc79cee2b6ebd"); </script><fb:fan connections="0" logobar="0" profile_id="225194391877" stream="0" width="300"></fb:fan><br /><div style="font-size: 8px; padding-left: 2px;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/An-Escape-to-Food/225194391877">An Escape to Food</a> on Facebook</div>

Wakame Seaweed Salad 凉拌海带

It was supposed to be <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2015/05/wakame-seaweed-fresh-mushrooms-soup.html">wakame soup</a> (yes, again), and I have already rehydrated the <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2015/05/wakame-seaweed-fresh-mushrooms-soup.html">dried wakame</a> as part of preparation. However, this is a twist of what I had originally wanted to do as everyone is not in the spirit for hot and warm <a href="http://www.teczcape.blogspot.com/search/label/chinese%20soup">soups</a> when the temperature lingers around 90F.<br /><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5554/14703988642_51d2a1d200_z.jpg" /><br /><br />I decided to quickly dress and season the rehyrdated wakame with <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2014/06/flax-oil-vinegar-honey-chickpea-salad.html">organic apple cider vinegar</a>, sugar and sesame oil, and it became a refreshing chilled condiment-appetizer delight.<br /><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2924/14701097461_67a39c6cb2_z.jpg" /><br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><b>Wakame Seaweed Salad 凉拌海带</b><br />Mix 1 tbsp <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2014/06/flax-oil-vinegar-honey-chickpea-salad.html">apple cider vinegar</a>, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp brown sugar in a bowl, then add in 1/4 cup of rehydrated wakame and dress the wakame salad.<br /><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3854/14701097161_0f142d5c29_z.jpg " /><br /><br />Sharing with <a href="http://www.21stcenturyhousewife.com/">Hearth and Soul</a><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;">Tag: </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/wakame+salad" rel="tag">wakame salad</a></span><br /><script src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">FB.init("ea808497442c6dbff6ecc79cee2b6ebd"); </script><fb:fan connections="0" logobar="0" profile_id="225194391877" stream="0" width="300"></fb:fan><br /><div style="font-size: 8px; padding-left: 2px;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/An-Escape-to-Food/225194391877">An Escape to Food</a> on Facebook</div>
