Tofu Dishes: Fried Tofu with Kangkong and Dulong



Tofu again? Yes, tofu again! Why not? There’s still 250 grams left in the ref. Good for one fast and easy-to-cook meal. (I posted a tofu dish I tried recently. Click here to view.)

What else do I have in the veggie bin? Kangkong ✅ A substitute to my fave spinach. But guess what, while cutting the tofu into chunks, I saw a pack of dried dulong (silverfish) and I imagined it would look good as toppings! 

So, here's what I did.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup dried dulong (silverfish)
Oil
250 grms tofu, cut into chunks
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups kangkong (water spinach) leaves
2 tbsps oyster sauce

Directions:
  1. Heat pan. 
  2. Add dulong. Heat dulong with continuous stirring until golden brown and crispy. Add oil just enough to coat the dulong. Remove from heat and set aside.            

 (This 100-gm. pack of dulong goes a long way. I use a portion with my other veggie dishes. Have you tried mixing dulong with fried rice? Oh, you should try it!)


      3. In the same pan, add oil. Fry tofu until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside. 
      4. In the same pan, sauté garlic until brown. Set aside half for toppings.
      5. Add kangkong and oyster sauce. Simmer. 

       6. Mix with fried tofu. Remove from heat.
       7. Add dulong and reserved garlic as toppings. 

Well, doesn’t it look good? Crispiness to the max! Happiness!

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year.

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

Ensaladang Alugbati (Malabar Spinach Salad)

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
