Baked Tofu
For many Indonesian Family, especially those who live in this country, tofu is one of the most popular ingredients for our meal. I realize that in one week, I cook at least 2-3 dishes using tofu as the main ingredient for our dinner. It's cheap, easy to find, and contains good nutrition. Delicious... for sure.
I believe some family have the same experience with me.
There are many dishes can be created from tofu, and there are some methods we can use to prepare the tofu dishes; fried, steamed, stir fried or baked.
Deep fried tofu probably is the most popular method for Indonesians. Easy to do and the result is magical delicious. Honestly, I do love frying tofu, but I keep trying not using this method too often for preparing the food for my family. One of the favorite tofu dishes in our house is Baked Tofu, and my children like to call it Tofu Schotel.
Normally I prepare this dish for dinner hence I have no time to take pictures of it. Finally I got a chance to prepare it for lunch, during a weekend. So, this time I prepared little bit earlier and had enough time to take some good pictures.
Last Saturday, I had a super relaxing time; just staying at home! I do love it.
After came back from market, cleaned the house, washed the car... then I decided to prepare the Baked Tofu for the children. It's an easy job; just mix all the ingredients and let the oven 'cooks' it for us.
When it's ready (including after took the pictures), we sat down together in the guest room, chatting, and enjoying our relaxing lunch. I served it with 'Tofu Stick' that I bought in Bandung during my 'day' trip last Thursday.
