healthy tofu cake

7:30pm. No one’s home. Walking in and out, up and down, I could hear my stomach growling from the silence in the house. Thinking to have something light and healthy, I opt for this tofu cake. I simplified this recipe from the one I got from SUNRISE. It’s very simple and I like it.

All I need is;

TOFU CAKES
• 1 hard tofu
• 1 egg
• breadcrumbs – about 4 to 5 tablespoon
• soy sauce – 1 teaspoon
• oyster sauce – 1 teaspoon
• pepper – 1/4 teaspoon
• olive oil – 1 1/2 tablespoon

STEAMED VEGGIES
• broccolli
• carrot
• a pinch of salt
• few drops of olive oil

What I need to do is;

TOFU CAKES
• mash the tofu in a bowl and put aside.
• lightly beat the egg in another bowl, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper and breadcrumbs – mix well.
• add in the mashed tofu to the mixture above and mix well.
• heat olive oil in frying pan over low heat.
• use a spoon to get the portion of the tofu mixture into pan and gentle flatten out the mixture. fry for 5 minutes or till it turns golden brown. turn to another side and fry for another 5 minutes or till it turns golden brown.
• remove tofu cakes from pan and it’s ready to serve.

STEAMED VEGGIES
• cut broccoli and carrots – wash
• sprinkle some salt and add a few drop of olive oil on the veggies
• steam for 3 minutes

Yay, done. Simple, healthy, happy.

Rojak Story

melanie

Again, CNY is getting closer. Weekend is getting busier. And guess what? We had a pre-CNY-family-reunion about 5 hours ago. I never expect it to happened that early and yeah, I got freaked out. Seriously.

If you wonder if I managed to do any handcraft or painting, nope. Not done yet. Not even sewing anything and shamefully not dropping a single kilo yet. I wonder when will I be able to lose the extra weight (people call it ‘love weight’ haha) so that I could wear my favourite jeans back. 😀 I feel bad and guilty that I did not make the time to get things done and strike out a few from my to-do-list for 2010 where I already have new entries for 2011. The list is indeed getting longer, which goes something like this:

10. Handcraft for charity
11. Meditation
12. Read more GOOD books

Aha ~ I am finally back to yoga with enthusiasm. At least I have got one to strike out from the list. Soon a 2 months vegetarian programme will be commencing, most prolly after CNY. And as promise, more sewing to come. Yes, yes I gotta catch the time.

On a difference story, have you tried using enzyme cleaner? Aunty Pat gave me the formula from my visit to Kluang 3 months back. And now my very first batch of homemade enzyme cleaner is ready to use. It might take some time to get it fermented but it works so impressively well. It helps save your hassles of rubbing and scrubbing the stubborn oil and grease off easily.

Try it. It’s MAGIC !! 😀

Oh ~~ My juggling skills have improved !! Hehehe …

A’lil update II

melanie

It’s Friday !! I have to finish up an animation for a client of mine and soon it will be updated to my portfolio. Then I’ll be free to paint !! Yay !!

Yesterday, I tried making tofu meatball for dinner but failed. The taste was rather nice but I had it way too thick and I did not cook it for long enough. The tofu meatballs were mushy. Uek~ I shall try it again tonight.

“A bit of failure makes success.” Hah !!

salad tortilla

I had tofu-chicken salad tortilla wrap for breakfast this very morning. Lesson learnt; do not be greedy. N.E.V.E.R. I had one whole piece of wholegrain tortilla which is a’lil too much for me. My stomach is kinda bloated and I don’t feel good now. 🙁 The next tortilla that I’m gonna make is definitely be half the size of it. Oh ~ do not forget to heat it up too. It’s a bit “gerli” eating it cold.

It’s half past twelve. I’m going to have my leftover salad now without tortilla. Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend !!

I’ll be busy with family over the weekend as Chinese New Year is around the corner. Freaky, freaky ~ What about you?
