THAI BASIL Chicken or TOFU BOWLS


Loved the recipe, but wanted to try with Tofu....Also would increase the sauce even more next time. Maybe I'll try Chicken next time too?

  • 1/4 cup onion
  • 1/2 cup red pepper
  • 1 Extra Firm package tofu or 2 cups chopped raw chicken
  • 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup packed spinach

  • DIRECTIONS:
  1. Cook rice according to package instructions; set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken stock, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar and vinegar and cornstarch; set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute Tofu until brown 5 minutes a side.  Set aside.
  4. Saute garlic, onion, and red pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Stir in stock mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in basil and spinach until just wilted, about 30 seconds. Add tofu back and toss.

Apple Dumplings

I have had these every year since I was little for my birthday. that and chicken cordon bleu. 1 pastry for 9" pie 2 c. brown sugar 1 c. water 4 baking apples. Cinnamon and Sugar Peel and Core Apples. (If you don't want the serving so big you can cut the apples in half). Sprinkle Cinnamon and Sugar in them and wrap them in pie dough. Put them in a pan. Over the stove stir 2 c. brown sugar and 1 c. water and some cinnamon until bubbly, pour over apples. Bake 50-80 minutes ad 425F. (This depends on the pie dough, you don't want it raw at all or it tastes gross, so for whole apples longer, smaller apples shorter. )
