MacKenzie Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Decided to smoke the tofu for a little extra flavour, used the pot with cherry wood for 1.5 hours at 330F. This is Thai tofu so it has some spices added. After 1.5 hours of smoking- Taste samples. Marinating tofu- Now for the veggies that get added to the sweet and sour stir fry- the mushrooms and the toasted cashews. Add the marinating tofu. Plated.

dstr8 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 You grabbed my attention with this one MacKenzie! Many moons ago I was vegan (and 35lbs to the south of the scale's needle :D)...and in my hometown of Omaha Nebraska we had, back in the '70's, a small grocery owned and run by a Japanese family, and they made tofu weekly. It was sublime and I've never had it as good since. I'll give smoking tofu a go and try this 'recipe' out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Tomorrow I'll post the recipe. It is very tasty and anyone afraid of tofu could substitute chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyfish Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Looks wonderful but I would use chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 For all of you who are dying to try this cook here is the recipe. It obviously is an old photocopy from a cookbook. The only thing I did differently was to smoke the tofu and I left the toasted raw cashews whole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I decided to try out my new baguette brotform today, just used my regular sourdough recipe so I ended up with one baguette that fit the brotform and some leftover dough to make a free standing baguette. Now all I need is some homemade spaghetti and sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 I'm not scared of tofu and yours looks awesome. I think it's time for you to get a cold smoker. I'm confident you could do one justice. Supposedly a few members have one but I've yet to see a cold smoke posted. Everyone seems hung up on the air pump when less than $10 at Walmart or a local aquarium store would have solved that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Thought I'd posted my cold smoked salmon? Guess not, my bad. I've also done some smoked pork chops (no pics, as I had dinner guests). I promise my next cold smoker adventure will have pictures! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) That is terrible, Tony, I got all excited when I started to read the post. Here is what is left after my cherry tofu smoke. BTW, I used a little flour/water to seal the edge but this time I wiped off the excess as it will burn and not smell soooo nice.:) I don't epect this lump to have much heat value in it, it not very dense. Maybe I'll use it to start my fire. Edited September 17, 2016 by MacKenzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
