Happy Meatless Monday everyone! I hope you
are as excited about Meatless Monday as I am.
This Monday, I am going to share a recipe
for Japanese Egg Tofu with you. This tofu has egg in it and can be easily bought
from most Oriental grocers. This is what
it looks like in its packaging.

As with most tofu or beancurd, it is a very
versatile protein in that it goes well with almost anything. For this dish, the
tofu is sliced, dusted with corn flour and then fried until it is golden and
crispy. You then braise the vegetables in a thick sauce before adding an egg in
the sauce to thicken it and to bulk up the dish. I also added a lot of vegetables to
bulk it up further. Here, I used mushrooms, sugar snap peas, baby corn and carrots.
