Recipe: Ginger and Tofu Soup

2012-01-17T11:07:00.000+08:00

Eating-in and eating-out is my life. I have been luckily enough to work on the LUXE City Guides Singapore editions since 2004 and even luckier having an Italian mama and always surrounded by fresh food all my life.

This year our aim is to eat less meat and more veggies... so here comes the best of the best vegetarian we have made and devoured at home.

Recipe: Ginger and Tofu Soup

Tofu crunchy on the outside and cooked in a fragrantbroth served with rice noodles tastes divine and is sooo easy to prepare.

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons grated fresh root ginger

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 shallots, finely chopped

1.2 L (2 pts) fish or vegetable stock

2 tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce

115 g (4 oz) rice noodles or Japanese Noodles

Juice of half 1 lime, to taste

1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce

250-300 g (10 oz ) firm tofu

Bunch of spring onions, sliced

Handful of fresh basil leaves, torn

Heat the oil in a large saucepan using olive oil. Add theginger, garlic and shallots, and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the stock andchilli sauce, and bring to boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 20minutes.

Cut firm tofu into small 1 cm squares and quickly fry witholive oil in frypan until golden brown on the outside and soft and firm inside.

Towards the end of the cooking time, put in the noodles in amedium bowl, pour boiling water over them and leave to soak for about 5minutes, until tender. (Do follow the noodle pack instructions as they all varyin cooking time).

Stir in lime juice and fish sauce to taste. Add the tofu andcook for a couple of minutes. Stir in the spring onions and noodles. Ladle thesoup into bowls, then scatter with basil and serve immediately.

Serves 4

Variations for this meal.

If you don’t like tofu then replace it with prawns (but not if you have high cholesterol), otherwise add fresh salmon.
Make sure your noodles and Thai or Fish sauce do not contain MSG.
Make sure you check your fish or vegetable stock for its sodium/salt content.
You can use any type of thin long rice or Japanese noodles. Just check the pack on their cooking time as they all vary.

Then Enjoy!

The Descendants

2012-01-17T09:57:00.000+08:00

"TheDescendants," the film that will make you cry and sometimes when you leastexpect it, laugh.

Thedelicious George Clooney as Matt King an indifferent husband and father of twogirls, who is forced to re-examine his past and present life especially afterhis wife suffers a boating accident in Hawaiiand is left in a coma. The events leads to a reconciliation with both youngdaughters alongside Matt having to make a decision to sell off the family’sland with pressure coming from all sides of the family and the community. The real issue here is finding outabout his wife’s extramartial activates that sends him off into a tail spinjourney.

Ifyou just simply love all things Mr Clooney, then you will love this movie. I dohave to say, if the movie did not have him in it then I would not have enjoyedit as much as I did. The scenes, the dialogue, the issues are all too very realfor us mere mortals.
