Breaded Sesame Tofu

Hey guys!

The winner of the Allens’ veggies contest is Junghwha! Congrats; I will e-mail you.

I have mounds of news I’ve culled related to the health world and am compiling it all to share later today. So much interesting stuff! For now, I wanted to share the recipe for the meal I prepared for my mom for mother’s day. She loved it and so did I!

Cranky’s Breaded Sesame Tofu

Ingredients

• 1 package (about 15oz or so) firm tofu, drained
• 2 tbsp. sesame seed oil
• 2 tbsp. sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp. light sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1 tbsp. cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Drain tofu and pat dry. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
• In medium-sized bowl, mix all ingredients together except tofu and stir.
• Add tofu to bowl and gently use spoon to coat the tofu.
• Place tofu on cookie sheet lined with foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking sheet.
• Cook until crispy and golden brown.

Served with a side of gallo pinto (minus the egg; add sauteed zucchini) and avocado

Enjoy!

Two things from the viral media world I wanted to share:

1. Check this kid out — I can’t wait ’til he makes his first album; I’m already a fan. The apathetic faces of his peers mixed with the one girl who seems to have fallen under his spell, cracks me up.

2. Check out this commercial — It left me teary-eyed and moved.

TGIF!
