no vegetarian experiment would be complete without giving tofu a whirl. i recently had pad thai at a restaurant and the tofu was better than i've ever tasted. i thought it would be great to learn to fix it like that. well, last night was NOT the night for that.
i used alton brown's recipe from the food network. i might have accidentally poured a little bit too much fish sauce in. that little bit made a huge difference and it was completely inedible. bummer! but the recipe called for marinating the tofu and i didn't like that at all. so at least i learned that much. it was fun to experiment, especially considering my special trip to the vietamese market which was an experience in itself.
in an effort to redeem myself, i made some curry tofu veggie stir-fry. i made some adjustments based on what i had lying around. this was tasty, but since i unknowingly got the wrong (mild) curry powder, it only got one thumb up from the husband. i liked it since i don't like hot. and i learned my lesson with the tofu and it tasted much better.
