Some days I just want to go into the kitchen and fly by the seat of my pants and see what comes out. This is the result of that most recent time.
Thai Inspired Tofu Scramble
I had a craving for Thai food and a poorly stocked kitchen. So instead of making something traditionally Thai, I just stole some flavors. I didn't take any measurements, so if you give this a try just go with whatever feels right to you.
- Coconut oil
- Sweet potato
- Tofu
- Turmeric
- Cumin
- Miso
- Peanut Butter
- Black Beans
- Bragg's Liquid Aminos
- Sriracha
- Cilantro
This picture is garbage...sorry
I started by sauteing the sweet potato in coconut oil (which probably would have been good just by itself). Once those were showing some gold, I crumbled a block of extra firm tofu which I had pressed. After a minute or two, I added a healthy amount of turmeric and some cumin. About 2 minutes later, I added some miso and peanut butter. When everything looked about ready, I added the black beans with just enough time to get them hot. I used the braggs just to deglaze the pan. Added a fair amount of sriracha to introduce some heat. Right before eating it, I added about 2 handfuls of chopped cilantro.
My normal tofu scramble is finished off with nutritional yeast flakes, but I didn't feel like this one needed anything extra. I really enjoyed the flavor, but the texture was unlike other tofu scrambles I've made or have eaten. I think the peanut butter was the culprit of that. I'm not sure how I'd change that or if I'd even bother, though.
The Big Pink
A Brief History of Love by The Big Pink is full of great tracks. They don't seem to fit together very well, though. I could see thinking "Is this the same band?" between a few of the tracks. I think The Big Pink is classified as electro rock and they run the spectrum between those styles. Some songs are downright trance like and some feel more like rock.
Despite a lack of cohesion, these guys write good tracks. Here's a sample of them:
