Healthy, Gluten Free, Vegan, Ginger Tofu

Healthy, Gluten Free, Vegan, Ginger Tofu. Served with plain rice and sprinkled with sesame seeds and fresh chill

It is cold outside and the January stink has set in. It is a long way to summer and you want to nourish yourself following a blow out Christmas and the lurgy. Healthy, Gluten Free, Vegan, Ginger Tofu is my go-to recipe when I want something quick, easy, tasty, filling and good for me. I love it served with Perfect Plain Rice.

People often complain about tofu and repeat the same things ‘tasteless, urgh, horrible texture, arghhhh!’ Etc. I think this is because a) they have never tasted good tofu in a good dish and b) if they have – it is too far outside their comfort zone and don’t want to like it. How many people in the world eat tofu as a staple? They don’t eat it because it tastes bad do they?

Good tofu will knock your socks off. Do not ever buy it from a supermarket. You are wasting your time and money. The stuff they sell there is pretty grim. A bit like the tofu version of processed cheese. If you live near an oriental supermarket go there and look at the range of tofu they sell: from silken to medium to firm to fried balls to tofu skins and then there is the dried tofu. A huge range that is undermined by the horror tofu sold in supermarkets. If you are not near an oriental supermarket lots of places sell dried tofu on line – dried tofu is great is stews.

This recipe uses a medium-firm fresh tofu and allows good quality tofu to speak for itself. It is a comforting, quick, easy and healthy dish. Enjoy!
