Treat Tuesday Tofu

We had another Treat Tuesday at work though this time we were shooting for lunch style eats. For my part, I made pork-stuffed tofu that I've been craving. Just haven't cooked it lately. I was going to make the tofu soup as well but that's not easy to carry or to keep hot at work. But I'll probably make some for home next week.

After frying the tofu, I hollowed them out. If I had a chance to go to Houston, I would have bought some pre-fried; those work great for this. Speaking of Houston, that makes me think of my friend Joel. Sorry I couldn't send some of the tofu to SA for you guy! Next time hopefully. :)

So after I hollow out the cubes, I fill them with the ground pork, which I added salt, pepper and scallions to as I was frying the cubes. I made little meatballs with leftover pork, wrapping the ground meat around some pieces of tofu I had scooped out earlier. Then I placed all of that into the pot that has some scallions I was heating up in cooking oil. Cover it all with two cans of diced tomatoes with basil and a touch of fish sauce. Stewed for about 30 minutes. Yum! I sampled some that night and didn't realize how much I have missed it. Mark had some and my work buds also enjoyed it which made me happy I made it. People have such preconceived notions about tofu it's sometimes hard to even get them to try it but everyone was open-minded. Thanks guys!
