Blend of tofu with Snap Peas and Sesame Seeds

When I started cooking, I was told that patience is the main factor that plays an important role in bringing up the taste. But I didn’t bother to notice that, and I was impatient in most of the cooking that I did. As a result, I failed to make tofu. But soon I noticed that somethings require to be cooked with patience like mushrooms, tomatoes and fish. All of these items must be cooked slowly so that they can get brown in color and crunchier.

Searing tofu is an easy thing to do, but you need to cook it in time intervals. What I did actually, I stirred tofu with the sliced pieces of sugar snap peas but you can add some vegetables to make it tastier. Zucchini, green beans, mushrooms, broccoli and asparagus are mostly used.

It really depends upon that person who is cooking the tofu, and what kind of tofu is wished to be prepared. Either crisp or firm tofu can be prepared, but some people do like to have soft tofu as well. In order to prepare soft tofu I pressed tofu with weight using the baking sheet so that most of the water can be extracted from the tofu.

Before you add tofu into the pan to make it sure that the pan gets hot and the oil does have enough temperature that can cook tofu well, and then can turn that tofu in brownish color.
