Living Rawesome Day #182 Black and White Tofu Complete Meal pg. 58 entertaining in the raw
January 23, 2010
I made the complete meal today. The recipes that I did make were Mushrooms (I didn’t have enoki mushrooms or trumpet mushrooms) and Broth. Jason really loved the meal. I didn’t include the white asparagus because we couldn’t find it at the store. We bought it at Target last time in Orlando. We really didn’t care for the flavor of it, anyhow. The meal had a strong ginger and sesame flavor. The sweetness of the tofu worked perfectly with the dressings. The texture of the tofu is similar to a paste. It melts in your mouth unlike the soybean tofu that we buy sometimes. The texture is similar to silken tofu. Jason did enjoy it and he actually asked for more:) I tried a bite, but I was more in the mood for chocolate. So I ate some chocolate.
Mushrooms Ingredients
1 cup enoki mushrooms (I substituted cremini)
2 T sesame oil
1 t nama shoyu
sea salt
Mushrooms marinated for 1 hour. Then I put them on top of the meal.
Broth Ingredients
1 cup water
1/2 cup nama shoyu
2 T dried dulse
1 T wakame
1/4 cup miso paste
I combined all ingredients. Placed in dehydrator and strained. I only added a little to the dish, because of the saltiness.
I added the cremini mushrooms to the salad dressing I made two nights ago. This dressing is my favorite part. I am addicted to ginger right now.
I am sure Jason will be enjoying this meal for the next few days. I really think it turned out beautiful:) I love the way black sesame compliment the dish. The recipe didn’t call for scallions but I added them anyway. The color green always goes well with black and white.
I had such a perfect day today! Sabby played like a superstar at soccer. He kicked hard, played hard and even used his head numerous times to stop the ball. The team lost but I really think he played the hardest he ever has! I am very proud of my baby:)
We went on the kayaks today for 3 hours. The weather was cool, windy, and sunny. It was a perfect day to kayak. We crossed the entire lake and went to my favorite spot on the lake between my trees. While Jason and I sat and watched two dogs play in the water, our boys went and found some shrimp and fish. I miss it there. I haven’t been there for weeks. The weather has been too cold and rainy. I will go back again soon. I would have stayed there longer but it was getting late, so the boys returned the shrimp and fish back to the lake and we headed back home. Christian was my partner on the kayak today. On the way back we really had to paddle to not be pushed back by the wind. We counted how many strokes we took. He had me laughing hysterically, he was acting like an aerobics instructor. He makes me laugh! I love my boys and love our days together!
We are going to play Wheel of Fortune on Playstation now, so this is Goodnight!
