 Tofu with vegetables and rice. As usual, my recalcitrant food calendar threw me a curve.   This Meatless Monday dish showed up on Wednesday.   I guess it was right on time for Whatever Wednesday! Katsu style, extra firm tofu, sticky rice, steamed spinach, house kimchi cabbage, and Thai sweet chili sauce. A delightful combination of textures and flavors.  As always, your comments or questions are welcome. Until next time, Bon Appetit Y'all!

  Pasta Primavera Capellini, onion, mushroom, green peas, zucchini, sugar snap peas, garlic and Thai basil. This dish was perfect for Good Friday and would be great anytime.

  This fried tofu bánh mì made the year end short list for a few reasons.  1st:  It is all about the food!  The flavors and textures in this "vegetarian fusion" dish are simply amazing.  It starts with the crusty bread.  The bread is dressed with gochujang mayonnaise.  From there we add crispy fried, panko breaded, tofu.  The tofu is topped with crisp Japanese style quick pickled carrot, daikon and cucumber. Cilantro pluches round out the dish.   2nd: I like the photo.  It is one the few "overhead or flat" photos I have taken, that I like. You can see the textures in the dish from the bread to the crisp pickled vegetables, to the fried tofu all in one glance.  It just looks appetizing and inviting.  One more photo to go to end the year.  I will post it tomorrow. As always your comments are welcome. Until next time. Bon Appetit Y'all Leslie Bartosh   #LifeLongLearning #LifeLongTeaching #FamilyFood
