Asian Persuasion.

I wasn't initially in the mood for asian food but when faced with a block of tofu and a bag of green beans, this was the only thing I could come up with. I sauteed the tofu in olive oil, regular soy sauce, mushroom soy sauce, plum sauce, a splash of rice vinegar, garlic, sansho pepper and crushed chili flakes. Served with steamed green beans and rice with a healthy squirt of Sriracha. Pretty tasty if I do say so myself.

Sansho Spice Tofu Salad

Made a quick salad for lunch today. I sauteed cubed tofu with olive oil, lemon, salt and a Sansho spice blend which has red chili, seaweed, sansho pepper, orange peel, poppy seeds, white and black sesame seeds. Sansho pepper is the same as Sichuan pepper. I let the tofu cool a bit and then served it on a salad mix with avocado and cucumber. I dressed it simply with a sesame oil/miso/rice vinegar dressing. Fresh and delicious!
