Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Favorite Animals and Tofu Dish


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  This is my sister's cat Luna, she is very shy (ACEO 2 1/2 " x 3 1/2").  I thought it would be a good one to put up for our 'Favorite Animals' theme.

For the Dinner Date, I am sharing my preferred Tofu recipe which I may have posted before but it is quick and easy and I use it all the time now.

Ingredients

3 cloves minced garlic
2 green onions diced
2 tbs canola oil
1 block of medium tofu

Sauce

2 1/2 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs black rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp chili crisp hot sauce
1 tsp sugar

Cut the tofu into small cubes
In a wok or saucepan saute the garlic and green onions in oil, add the tofu and sauce and stir for a few minutes until the tofu is warmed up.  Serve with rice.

  3. Cute cat! My colleague advised me to dry tofu with a paper-towel so it gets sauces easier. Hmmm, think I need tofu!

  19. As you know cats are one of my favorites. Your picture of Luna is adorable. I hope you gave a copy of it to your sister :) Again, like you, I love cooking Tofu. I get an "Orange Tofu" at one of my stores. It comes packaged with an orange sauce. I brown the Tofu in olive oil, add mixed (fresh) vegetables and then the orange sauce. I either serve it with rice or just by itself. Hope you are weathering the storm (both winter and political). Stay well, Christine ...
