Soft Tofu Sushi Bowl
I’ve been craving sushi rice lately – that vinegary, slightly sweet flavor you get when you bite into some nigiri sushi, for example. I figured, how good would it be to make a vegetarian sushi rice bowl, complete with seaweed salad, pickled ginger, and brown rice, with the salad spiked with rice brown vinegar? Pretty … Continue reading
Crispy Panko-Crusted Tofu with Curry Sauce

Grumpy old men…
…are what these chayote squash look like. They remind me of Oscar the Grouch, green and mean. Whenever Phong goes grocery shopping and asks if I need anything, I explain these veggies by saying, “Get me a few of those mean pear-looking things” and he knows exactly what I want! I grew up eating chayote … Continue reading
