Reporting from my first ever tofu cooking experience! (Yes, each ! equals one bit of happiness :D ) The thing you're seeing is a modified recipe I found at a Bulgarian forum. I've changed quantity and bits of the ingredients, but the base is the same - mushrooms, red onion, tofu.
Ingredients:
~400gr tofu
1 red onion
~ 150 - 200gr mushrooms
3 soup spoons oil
1 soup spoon oregano
Heinz' Barbeque Sauce
Red, black pepper and salt
How to make the most awesome first tofu dish ever:
Drain the tofu as much as you can. I couldn't really drain mine, I bought Cauldron's but I think it might've been less than firm, so I just dried it as much as I could without breaking the thing into mouse bites. Slice and dress it in BBQ sauce and leave it for later.
Pour the oil and a spoon of red pepper into a pan. Chop the onion and the mushrooms and then throw them in the pan as well. Heat the pan at 5 (out of 6, I wanted the mushrooms juicy, adjust according to your stove) and stir with a wooden spoon. Then add the oregano and black pepper, I'd be generous with the oregano and moderate with the black pepper. When you're almost happy with the mushrooms (didn't take long, 4-5 mins) add the coated tofu. Stir for ~3-4 minutes. Add salt.
Goes mighty well with pita bread and I'd imagine with some lemon which I forgot to buy today. The whole thing is delicious and resembles stirred eggs in texture but doesn't have the heavy stirred-egg taste I'm particularly not fond of. Takes ~20 minutes for the slow ones like me and serves two (killer for all the student couples out there).
I'll be cooking some Bean burgers with steamed broccoli and carrots later on, lets hope it's as good as this one!
Your happy future-to-be vegetarian,
Bill
