Tonight I was able to eat what I cooked, though it was super bland. I tried my new Gochujang sauce recommended by Georgia Ma'am. But I botched how I used it. Into a big wok I threw a bag of spinach, a bag of riced cauliflower, a block of tofu, a big onion, curry powder, and 2 tbs of Gochujang. Then I cooked it. I think maybe I should have dry cooked the meal without the sauce and then added it. The veggies and tofu are so watery when they cook that they probably ended up making everything steamed as well as watering down the Gochujang, leaving me with a filling but boring tasting meal. If anyone has suggestions other than what I just said, please let me know 
Oh, I had added about a fourth of an avocado on top which really tasted good with it, but after it ran out, I tried adding a cooked beet and that did not work well.
All of this being said, it was a filling meal that left me feeling good (easy to digest).
For dessert I had Greek yogurt with cinnamon, banana, and kamut puffs.
I survived my cooking tonight! |
Marinate the tofu in the sauce rather than putting it on everything. Either bake to crisp the tofu or saute til crispy, and then add to sauteed veggies.(stick with riced cauliflower, onion and spinach and maybe add red pepper, but not in the beginning so it retains some crunch) No curry. If you like pineapple, put that in and some juice (not too much, if you use canned) when you blend the vegetables and tofu at the end. If you don't like pineapple, try some maple syrup and fresh ginger, mix with some apple cider vinegar (to taste) and add just enough to coat at the end and warm it up.
