When I don’t know what to do with a vegetable, my go-to cooking method is roasting. I normally steam baby bok choy, but it seems to get so soft and mushy that it’s no longer appetizing. Roasting it with the aromatic and tantalizing flavors of Chinese Five Spice powder was definitely a big hit. This is a perfect quick dinner – savory and just filling enough!
Ingredients:
5-6 baby bok choys, quartered
1 block extra firm tofu, drained thoroughly
1 tsp Chinese Five Spice powder
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper (optional)
Crushed peanut for garnish (optional)
Make:
Preheat oven to 450°. Open tofu package, drain and press as much water out of it as possible. The drier it is, the better it will roast. If you have a tofu press, now’s the time to use it, or wrap the block in a clean kitchen towel and place a wide, heavy object on it, like an old dictionary or thick encyclopedia. Let it drain for about 10 minutes. While the tofu is draining, wash and pat dry baby bok choys. Cut off the greens or leave them on – doesn’t matter. The leaves taste great roasted as well. Quarter the baby bok choys and place them in a large mixing bowl along with the leaves if you removed them. Once water is removed from tofu, add to the bowl along with remaining ingredients and gently toss by hand to coat evenly. Spread onto a large cookie sheet and roast for 20-22 minutes, or until tofu is golden and bok choys have nicely browned. Serve with a side of brown rice, crushed peanuts and additional Chinese Five Spice powder if desired.

Hi there, after reading this amazing piece of writing i am as well glad to share my knowledge here with friends.
What’s up Dear, are you genuinely visiting this web site on a regular basis, if so after that you will without doubt take nice experience.
Hi there all, here every one is sharing these kinds of experience, so it’s fastidious to read this webpage, and I used to go to see this weblog everyday.
That’s weird. I’ll have to look at it when I get hone tonight.
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now
each time a comment is added I get three emails with
the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thank you!
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this
website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
Plz answer back as I’m looking to create my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. thank you
Thanks! I designed the logo (real quick!) in Photoshop. I thought the flashy pink shoe would look cute with some dirt and little plant in it. The design is a WordPress theme where I am simply using some of the features it offers, such as the email sign-up, Twitter feed, Facebook feed, blogs I like, etc. Each theme can be modified depending on which features it will support. I forget which one this is!
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this
blog loading? I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the
blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I haven’t had any problems. What kind of errors is it giving you? Which images are not loading?
Greetings! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a
quick shout out and say I truly enjoy reading your posts.
Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the
same subjects? Thanks for your time!
I would highly recommend The Vee Word! http://www.theveeword.blogspot.com. Her recipes are delicious, many gluten-free and of course vegan.
