I began appreciating this veggie food when Patis Tesoro, my then boss at Katutubong Filipino Foundation, treated us to a small Chinese restaurant in San Juan years years back (don't ask me about the name because honestly, I only remembered the moment but not the name of the place). That was my first taste of steamed tofu and boy!, my tongue had a blast of its sauce! From then on, I experimented on how best I can eat and play around with tofu (recipes of which I am going to collate--I hope I can remember!-- and share later on.
Today, I received a text message from a dear high school friend, J, telling me she'll drop by for lunch. Oh no! What's on the table? -- all leftovers from yesterday. But thanks to my sister Gigi who gifted me last Sunday with -- what else-- tofu!
Today's spur-of-the-moment dish: fried tofu squares seasoned with salt and spices with my signature siomai sauce for dip.
More of the signature sauce in my future posts. Bon appetit!
This is my good friend J. Food and music bond us together.
