Oats upma (To Try)

2026-05-24T11:08:53.217-06:00

Key to making it dry (like granola not mushy and slimy) is to roast the oats well.

Rolled oats - 1 cup - roast it well till it’s aromatic
Do the tadka mustard cumin, onion, ginger , finely chopped green chillies for spice and curry leaves and peanuts/ cashews just like upma..
Boiled veggies another cup - carrot peas beans potato - can be cooked on the pan or OPOS it while roasting
Mix with tadka the veggies and add same amount of water as oats (one cup water for one cup oats - even a bit less is ok, as you can add more as needed)
Add tomato paste / puree - 2/3 tbsp
Salt it to taste
Add roasted oats and keep it covered and see if you want a bit more water to cook and just sprinkle water and keep it closed and cook
Once oats is soft, fluff it out if it’s clumped together and add coconut - fresh or desiccated in the end and mix

Yum upma to eat with coconut chutney or any chutney… or even applam.

Usual upma but careful on water levels. Start with less water as it also depends on thickness of rolled oats. Start at 50% water and check for your oats type

Thai Basil Tofu Stir Fry

2025-09-16T15:55:00.000-06:00

▢1 packet extra firm tofu - 16 oz (454 g)
▢2 Tablespoons avocado oil
▢½ large red bell pepper - sliced
▢¾ cup green beans - cut to ½ inch long pieces
▢½ medium onion - chopped
▢1 cup Thai holy basil
▢2 large eggs - optional
▢salt & pepper to taste

Sauce Ingredients

▢3 Tablespoons dark soy sauce
▢2 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
▢4 cloves garlic - chopped
▢¼ teaspoon ginger - grated
▢½ teaspoon Thai chili pepper flakes - optional for spice, or add fresh Thai chili peppers

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Take your extra firm tofu and squeeze out as much water as you can with your hands and some paper towels. Next crumble it up with a fork or your hands to get 'ground' tofu.
Add the ground tofu to a hot pan with oil and saute until it becomes dry, about 5 minutes. Optional: meanwhile in a separate pan, cook two eggs sunny side up over high heat until the edges become crispy.
Add the sauce, bell peppers, green beans, and onions to the pan and saute everything together for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked but still crispy.
Season your tofu mixture with salt & pepper to taste. Tofu is pretty bland so it may need a pinch of salt. I added about ¼ teaspoon.
Turn off the heat and stir in your Thai basil and mix it together until the basil wilts.
Serve over rice and top with the crispy fried egg.

Broccoli Tofu - Chinese style

2025-07-18T07:53:00.003-06:00

Ingredients

1 block (16 ounces super firm tofu)
1 broccoli crown cut into florets (about 8 ounces)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons light olive oil
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
¼ cup grade A maple syrup
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Slice the tofu into thin pieces. Then cut those pieces into rough triangular shapes or rectangles, this will result in a non-uniform cut of tofu. If you don’t care about the look you can always just cut into cubes.

Coat the tofu in half of the cornstarch (1.5 tablespoons). I like to do this by sprinkling it over top of the tofu and then gently moving it around.
In a large pan add the olive oil and heat up over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. *If you using stainless steel see the tips in the blog post. Once the oil is hot add in the tofu. Let each side of the tofu sit in contact with the pan for 4 to 5 minutes until it can easily be moved and some browning has occurred. Carefully, flip the tofu with a fork or tongs. Repeating the process until about 50% of the tofu is browned and crispy. It doesn’t need to all be browned up.
Add the broccoli into the pan and cover with a lid for 2 to 3 minutes to promote steaming.
In a small bowl mix the remaining cornstarch with 1.5 tablespoons (22ml) of water to form a slurry. Then add in the soy sauce, maple syrup, half of the sesame seeds, and garlic powder. Mix to combine.
Pour the sauce over the tofu and broccoli. If the sauce thickens very quickly once hitting the pan, you can always add in 1 to 2 tablespoons more of water (15ml to 30ml).

Cook the tofu and broccoli together in the sauce for another 2 to 3 minutes over medium low heat. Taste and add any salt or black pepper if desired. Top with the remaining sesame seeds and enjoy.

Salt and pepper

What you need to do:

Rinse the lentils with cool running water and drain.
In a large pot combine 5 cups of water, enough salt, add the lentils and bring to a boil. Lower the temperature and simmer, covered, until tender, stirring occasionally (about 20-25 minutes), until ready. Don’t overcook them, you want to enjoy their texture, almost “al dente” as the Italians say.
Drain the lentils, wait until they are in room temperature, mix with the rest of the ingredients, serve chilled and enjoy. You can keep the ceviche in the refrigerator for a few days, that way you have them ready for lunch or dinner.
