Fresh Summer Rolls
For Lazy Days

It's scorching hot this month! Instead of turning on the stove, I decided to chop up some fresh herbs, lightly pan-fry some rich tofu, and roll them all up in chewy rice paper.

Dipped in a savory homemade peanut sauce, it's absolutely mind-blowing!

Cooking Cheat Sheet

Little secrets I wish I knew earlier to make plant-based cooking a breeze.

🧊

Freeze Your Tofu

Freezing and thawing tofu creates a meaty texture that absorbs marinades like magic!

🌿

Keep Herbs Fresh

Store fresh herbs like a bouquet of flowers in a jar of water in the fridge.

🔥

The Wok Hei

Always preheat your pan before adding oil to prevent sticking.

🍋

Acid is Key

Dish tastes flat? Try a squeeze of fresh lemon or a dash of vinegar.

Rewind time 🕰️

The Pockmarked Granny & Mapo Tofu

Did you know "Mapo" actually translates to a poor innkeeper with a pockmarked face?

Legend has it that with her simple ingredients, she cooked a fiery, numbing tofu dish that saved and warmed countless rickshaw pullers during freezing winters, eventually becoming an immortal culinary masterpiece.

Chef Tofu Me! 🙋‍♀️

Hi friend, I'm Tofu! ☁️

"I'm not a pro chef. I'm just someone who absolutely loves the feeling of slicing a block of pristine silken tofu, listening to the sizzle of garlic in a pan, and wondering who on earth invented these amazing recipes centuries ago."

With love, Tofu!
