They say that "a way to a man's heart is through his stomach" which I believe is true.
But for me, I also strongly believe that "preparing good food and warm kitchen is what makes a house a home".
Do you also agree with me?
Hello, everyone!
It was the weekend and my body cells were craving for a delicious sizzling tofu for dinner which led my diligent bones to tell my lazy body to prepare something that I can cheerfully and deliciously share with my family for dinner.
I have always been away from home for the whole weekdays because of work and I can only get to reunite with them, my brother and his wife on weekends. My kuya is the kind of responsible brother that always prepares good foods for me, so I guess this time, I should be the one doing the honor in preparing food for dinner as my way of saying sincere thank you, which I cannot utter in words.
And with this, I am glad to share with you how my version of sizzling tofu was prepared.
The ingredients:
Chopped tofu
Onion, garlic, tomato, and spring onion
Mayonnaise and oyster sauce
Condiments (salt, pepper, sugar, and sesame seeds)
The process:
Step 1:First, I chopped the onions, garlic, tomato, and spring onion into tiny pieces.
Step 2:
Secondly, I fried the tofu until all sides are golden brown.
Step 3
Next, I sauteed these spices and herbs in a little amount of cooking oil in a heated frying pan.
Step 4:
When these spices and herbs were already golden brown, I already mix the tofu with them.
Step 5:
And then added the oyster sauce and one tablespoon of each condiment (salt, pepper, and sugar) for leveling up the flavor.
Step 6:
And then, I prepare the mayonnaise in a bowl where I pour the freshly cooked tofu.
Step 7:
Then, I sprinkled the sesame seed at the top.
Step 8:
And lastly, for the finishing touches, I sprinkled the spring onion and call it done. Ping, ping, ping!
As simple as that. "Dinner is ready!" I happily told them as I was very excited to share with them this food that I warmly prepared.
And so with those pinch of spices and a cup of love, we shared a happy meal together as a family.
Bon appetit everyone! Kaon ta!😊
