Tofu with Shitake Mushroom



Another delicious vegetarian recipe for today, Tofu with Shitake Mushroom. I love this recipe because it has this sweet and sour taste with the aromatic zest of cilantro (wansoy). If you are a vegetarian and is already sick and tired of always preparing tofu adobo, then this recipe will give you a different tofu dish that you will surely favor. This is also very easy to prepare amidst your busy schedule. 


Ingredients:
250 gm sliced tofu
minced garlic
sliced onion
ginger strips
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tomato cut in cubes
sliced shitake mushrooms
1 green bell pepper cut into cubes
a pinch of sugar
cilantro cut into small pieces


Fry tofu in oil for a minute or two. Then saute in garlic, onion, and ginger strips. Put the cubed tomatoes then add soy sauce. Stir until the tofu sips in the soy sauce and the juice of the tomato. Then put the shitake mushroom, green bell pepper and the rest of the ingredients. Then serve with rice will still hot. Yummy!

Dulong Patty





Some nutrition experts say that eating fish helps prevent goiter, or the enlargement of the thyroid gland. Iodine found in fish forms part of the hormone, thyroxine, which regulates some body processes. Iodine deficiency results to simple goiter which affects physical and mental health, the nerves, rate of heart beat and appetite. They even say that  protein from fish is of better quality than plant sources like beans because it contains more of the essential amino acids needed to build and repair cells for the body. And because of this i decided to share to you my very simple fish recipe that is the Dulong Patty. This recipe is easy to do and very cheap also. I spent just 50 pesos all in all in this recipe that 5 people enjoyed.
