But, I came across a recipe for restaurant style sesame chicken, which you can find here on recipezaar. I was doubtful, but I thought I would give it a try. I made the chicken as directed. I altered the recipe and made tofu for myself. I am still no expert on tofu, and in the future I will remove more of the excess moisture, but it work fine enough.
So, if you are adventurous enough to make your own Asian food, I highly recommend you try this recipe out. Whether you make it with chicken or with tofu, the plates will be clean!
menu ideas:
I served our sesame chicken and tofu with buttered white rice (but brown would work too) and steamed snow peas. You could also start with a couple of spring rolls. They would be great dipped in the left over sauce.
Yum! I love it when I find a recipe that is good or better than take out!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I just made General Tso's Tofu for me and the real chicken version for my hubby! I will try this sesame one with tofu next!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled across your blog while I was searching for some vegetarian dishes to cook for a few friends at an up-and-coming dinner party. Nice recipe! I noticed you said you had some issues getting the tofu they way you like it while you made this. The recipe is a few months old. Have you made any improvements to your tofu preparations?
