Hot and Sour Tofu
mood: 
hungry
hungryIngredients:
1 packet/block of tofu
1 red pepper
1 large carrot
A few cabbage leaves
1 level tsp. corriander seeds
Marinade:
3 - 4 cloves garlic
2 cm piece fresh ginger
2 tomatoes or 2 tsp. tomato puree
3 or 4 dessert spoons of soy sauce
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup of orange juice
1/2 tsp. red chilli powder
To prepare marinade, chop tomatoes and ginger finely, crush garlic with a broad knife and mix everything together. Cut tofu into pieces roughly 1 ( 2 ( 5 cm and put into a bowl with the marinade. Leave in the fridge for an hour or so (even overnight) or five minutes if you didn't expect to have to do this. Cut the carrots, peppers and cabbage into thin strips or matchsticks and put to one side. Lift the tofu pieces out of the marinade (don't throw it away) and put them on a plate. Heat a little oil in a heavy frying pan or wok (you really don't need much oil) and heat until the oil is smoking. Add the corriander seeds first and the tofu pieces a few seconds later, then turn the heat down a little. Shove the tofu pieces around gently and cook for about 2 minutes each side until they are starting to brown. Lift the pieces out of the pan and return them to the plate. Turn the heat back up full and throw the vegetables into the pan. Stir fry for 5 minutes then add the marinade and the tofu pieces. Stir gently, cover the pan and turn down the heat. Leave for 5 more minutes and it's ready. Serve with boiled rice or noodles. Noodles are, in my opinion, a better accompaniment and if you use instant ones (but leave out the packet of chemical flavourings) they are extremely easy to prepare while you are cooking the tofu and vegetables.

Hot and Sour Tofu, It's reading tasty
I Have TYPE 2 DIABETES and my doctor keeps suggesting that I, at least try TOFU, wich I did and never found interesting enough, but that recipe smell so good through my computer screen, and I don't even have SMELL-O-VISION.
If you don't mind as soon as I've try it, I'll let you know, since we men usually stay far away from non meat product.
