Dacon ("bacon")

based on a great recipe at BBC

- Prepare the marinade in a sealable container (potentially large enough to later store the finished bacon) by mixing together and shaking: 6T soy sauce 1.5t smoked paprika 1.5T maple syrup 1.5T tomato puree 1T olive oil - Cut two packs of firm tofu (2x 200g) into thin slices - Spread some of the marinade on a large oven pan, drape the tofu slices next to each other on the marinade, and evenly spread the remaining marinade across the tops of the slices - Let the marinated tofu rest for 1 hour - Bake the marinated tofu in the oven at 150C / 300F for 20 mins, turn the slices over, and bake for another 5 minutes. Adjust baking times depending on how thin your slices are and on how crispy you want the bacon to be

- Bereiten Sie die Marinade in einem verschließbaren Behälter vor (möglichst groß genug, um den fertigen bacon später aufzubewahren), durch mischen und schütteln von:

• 6 T Sojasauce
• 1,5 t geräucherter Paprika
• 1,5 T Ahornsirup
• 1,5 T Tomatenmark
• 1 Esslöffel Olivenöl

- Zwei Packungen festen Tofu (2x 200g) in dünne Scheiben schneiden

- Ein großes Ofenblech mit einem Teil der Marinade bestreichen, die Tofuscheiben nebeneinander auf der Marinade drapieren, und die restliche Marinade gleichmäßig auf den Oberseiten der Scheiben verteilen

- Den marinierten Tofu 1 Stunde lang ruhen lassen

- Den marinierten Tofu im Ofen bei 150 C / 300 F für 20 Minuten backen, die Scheiben umdrehen und weitere 5 Minuten backen. Die Backzeit anpassen je nachdem wie dünn die Scheiben sind und wie knusprig der bacon sein soll

Kung Pao Tofu

Modified by Corina, based on a recipe by The Spruce Eats

Follow the instructions from spruce eats to make the tofu:

Cut a block of tofu into small pieces. Marinate these for ~1 hour  in 3 tablespoons broth, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 tablespoons tamari, and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil. Place the marinated tofu pieces in a single layer on an oven pan, and bake in the oven at 210C for 30 minutes (until they start to crisp), turning occasionally to bake them evenly.

You can eat the tofu just like this as a snack. We also sometimes add a potato: cut the potato into small pieces, place these next to te tofu on the oven pan, cover them a little in the marinade liquid, and bake together with the tofu.

Alternatively use the tofu (and the potato) in a stir fry. We use different flavours in the stir fry, for example you can add:

toasted sesame oil

tamari

chili flakes

kefir lime leaves

rice vinegar
sambal
agave
Heat these in a pan, add various vegetables (for example carrots, bell pepper, sugar snaps), and add the tofu.

Ramendrugs

By Dieter

0.5 l boiling water / kochendes Wasser
1 stock cube / Gemüsebrühewürfel
2T sesame oil / Teelöffel geröstetes Sesamöl
3T gluten-free soya sauce / Teelöfel Soyasauce
1t chili powder / Teelöffel Chilipulver

1 handful/square Mie or Japanese ramen noodles / handvoll Mie- oder Japanische Ramen-Nudeln (use more if you want it to have less liquid)

Mix everything together, stir, let boil for ~5 minutes (until noodles are soft enough). Note: I prefer the Japanese ramen noodles because they soak up more liquid.

Alles in einem grossen Topf vermischen, und für ca 5 Minuten kochen lassen (bis die Nudeln weich genug sind)

Another option: Almost Shio Ramen

1 can water

1t salt

Pour into a pot, add noodles and boil until noodles are soft

2T white miso paste

Stir in after taking the pot off the heat

Oil sauce:

1T sunflower oil 

1T toasted sesame oil

Stir in a bowl and set aside. Spoon it onto your own personal bowl of ramen as desired
