NOTES: The first time I made this next one, I thought I might get some flak
from my teenaged boys. I was very surprised to get their thumbs up. All you
really need to complete the meal is some good french bread. Throw in a wedge
of ripened brie, and it is a meal fit for company. Pour everyone a glass of
good red wine and c’est magnifique!

Title: Coconut Tofu Soup (Vegan, But High Fat)
Categories: Veg-cook, Sept.
Yield: 1 servings

1/2 lb Extra-firm tofu
2 Cloves garlic, minced
2 T Vegetable oil
1 cn Coconut milk (I try to get
Frozen, or make fresh if I
Am ambitious)
1 1/2 c Vegetable stock (or water)
1 T Light soy sauce
Keffir Lime leaves – to
Taste, this is a tough one
Since it can come packaged
In a number of ways. I
Typically get dried in which
Case I let 2 to 3 T soak in
Water before using*.
1 oz Galanga (Kah) – Galanga is
Thai ginger
1 To 3 Thai or Serrano Chiles
To taste (I like 4!)

*Very marginal substitutes (although still good!) are to try 1/4 c. coarsly
chopped lemon grass, or the juice from 1 lime. This has to be experimented
with, it is used to reduce the sweetness of the coconut milk. You do not
want this flavor to dominate, though. Add a little at a time, and taste to
get it right.

Drain the tofu of extra water by placing a heavy weight over the tofu
surrounded by 3 layers of paper towels. Cut tofu into bite size pieces.
Stir fry the garlic in the oil until golden (do not burn), then stir fry
the tofu until it is an even golden brown. In a medium size sauce pan mix
the coconut milk, stock (or water) and soy sauce. Add the tofu, Keffir Lime
leaves (or substitute), and Galanga. Cook over low to medium heat for 15
minutes, do not allow to boil! At this point, taste the soup. If the
coconut taste is too strong add a little more of the Keffir Lime leaves (or
substitute). The idea is to reduce the sweetness of the coconut milk. With
the flat of a heavy knife (or something similar) pound the chilies until
they are split in several places. Add to the soup, and let cook a couple
minutes more.

Serve over steamed rice (preferably, Jasmine Rice).

Heres a great way to get your kids to eat squash! Just pierce the stem
end of a spaghetti squash with a knife or metal skewer, and place on
roasting sheet. Roast at 350 for about an hour, open, and create
strands by pulling away the flesh with your fork. Serve with butter
and Parmesan cheese or tomato sauce.

ONIONY TEMPEH

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 pk Tempeh
1/2 Onions — thinly sliced
1 t Butter
1 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 Chili peppers
1/2 ts Sauce, soy
1 t Sugar, brown

Dice tempeh and deep fry until crunchy. Fry onion in
butter until limp; add
garlic and chili pepper and saute briefly. Add fried
tempeh and stir around.
Add sweet soy sauce and brown sugar. Keep stirring
the mixture. Tempeh is fermented soy beans and paste
sold in “bricks.” The idea is to coat the tempeh with
the sugary, spicy, oniony, flavor…so you won’t taste
the tempeh. (G)

Once steeped, this vinegar is supposed to “keep for several months.
(Garnishes and other solids left in the jar, however, may discolor or
break down.)”

Lemongrass Vinegar

3 stalks of lemongrass
2 cups rice vinegar
Slice thin the bottom 8 inches of the lemongrass stalks, put
the slices lemongrass in a very clean 1-qt glass jar, and bruise
it with a wooden spoon. Add the vinegar and let the mixture
steep, covered with the lid, in a cool dark place for at lease 4
days and up to 2 weeks, depending on the strength desired.
Strain the vinegar through a fine sieve into a glass pitcher,
discarding the lemongrass slices, pour it into 2 very clean 1/2
pint glass jars, and seal the jars with the lids.

Fatfree Root Beer Floats

2 scoops fatfree frozen vanilla yogurt or ice milk
16 or larger bottle Diet A W Root Beer

Pour 1/2 c or so in the bottom of a large glass, add the frozen yogurt,
let the carbonation settle down and slowly add rootbeer until the glass
is full. For those who are near a Crate and Barrel, our local store
had large thick glass beer mugs for about $2.75 that I got wet and put
in the freezer for about 30 minutes before making the floats. Be sure
the root beer is very ice cold before using.
