MOTHER NORTH TOFU: VEGAN SCANDANAVIAN 'SALMON' DELIGHT

Steps:

• Cut the tofu out of the package and drain the excess water. Cut into cubes.
• Dry out the tofu thoroughly until there is no more water coming out if you prod it-- my method is the lazy way as follows-- just shove the bowl of cubes in the microwave for 5 minutes on high, then press down on it with paper towels over the sink to drain excess water. Let stand for 10-15 minutes.
• Make a baste of the remaining ingredients except the parsley. Marinate the tofu with this baste, stirring or brushing well to make sure it's dispersed.
• Lightly grease a small baking dish (a pie pan will do) with some olive oil, then place the marinated tofu in it.
• Bake at 350F for 25 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with boiled potatoes and cucumber salad, which I have a nice recipe for!

VEGAN TANTANMEN WITH PAN-FRIED TOFU

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add noodles and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and run under cold water until the noodles are completely cold. (This stops the noodles from cooking further.) Set aside to drain.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and arrange the tofu slices in a single layer. Generously season the tofu with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat to medium, and cook tofu for 3 to 4 minutes until golden. Flip the tofu, and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 to 3 minutes. (Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook your tofu in two batches.) Remove from the pan, set aside on a plate.
• To the same pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Pan-fry until mushrooms are tender and slightly golden, about 6 minutes.
• Prepare the broth: Pour the vegetable stock into a large pot and add the kombu, if using.
• Bring to a gentle simmer and cook over medium heat, about 7 minutes. Remove kombu (keep for another use) and turn off heat. Allow to sit for 2 minutes, then gradually whisk in milk, adding a little at a time, so it doesn't curdle. Once the milk has been added, heat broth over medium until it simmers.
• In a medium bowl, combine the sesame paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar and chile oil. Divide mixture across four deep noodle bowls.
• Pour the hot broth over the sesame soup base, dividing it evenly among the bowls. Whisk to combine the base with the broth.
• Divide the noodles across the bowls, and top each bowl with a few slices of tofu, mushrooms, corn, scallions, sesame seeds and an extra drop of chile oil.

ASIAN-STYLE SALMON OR TOFU

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400.
• Tear off four 15-inch squares of parchment paper. Arrange them evenly on baking sheets.
• Divide the bok choy and bell pepper evenly on the squares.
• Place the salmon (or tofu) on top of the vegetables and sprinkle with pepper. Top each square with scallions.
• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger. Spoon the mixture over the salmon or tofu.
• Top with another 4 squares of parchment paper and fold the edges over several times to seal.
• Bake for 15 minutes. When done baking, slit the parchment paper to open and serve, being cautious of the hot steam.
• For Vegetarian use only the Tofu.
