Perhaps this will work for removing moisture from other veggies. I will have to try! Someone I never liked Tofu...

 

Brussels sprouts. They're amazing when cooked and you don't even have to do much to them. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray (olive oil cooking spray is best). Dump the sprouts on the sheet. Spray them. Then sprinkle salt, pepper, onion and garlic. Cover with foil, tightly. Bake at 350 for two to 2-1/2 hours. And that's it. I use them as snacks.

 

Buying cheaper cuts of tough meat and braising them, low and slow, in a flavourful liquid.

In many ways, it's a lot tastier than a steak.

 

I had never cooked it at home. Only eaten outside. My vietnamese coworker told me you have to buy the right one. Perhaps I have to figure it out. And also a proper recipe.

 

I've always thought that tofu was pretty much tasteless, that it would take on the flavor of the seasoning used when cooking it.

Any tips for reheating leftovers that were made with fresh mushrooms? I sometimes like to use fresh mushrroms as a protein substitute for meat. The downside is we tend to end up with leftovers, and reheated mushrooms are pretty yucky.

 

Frozen fruit! My god, the possibilities!
Thank you.

I don't eat all that much cereal these days but when I did, frozen strawberries where my thing.

 

The 'standard' white mushrooms usually readily available at most gorcery stores.

 

We eat mushrooms a lot
They are bit like tofu too
I will check for tofu by surata I live near Portland too so must be able to find

 

We buy the plain janes because of $$ constraints. The grocery stores in our 'hood' aren't the greatest; a large Asian market recently opened near us, I need drop in.

 

When cooking pasta, always drain it 1-2 minutes short of al dente. Then put it back into the pot, add the sauce and let the pasta finish cooking gently in the sauce until done. This is also a good time to add grated cheese as well. Transfer to your serving bowl, then add any delicate herbs (like basil) if you're using them. The finished pasta will be awesome.
