Grilled vegetables with Tofu

What’s cooking in on Pauline-Cuisine?

The temperatures are going down and it is time to cook some warm food for lunch. This week, I tried to cook with Tofu. Indeed, I heard a lot of good things about it and I quite remember that the taste is not really strong, I just cooked it once and I was not convinced. But I gave it a try this week again. I decided to cook it with vegetables on a kind of Chinese way.

When I removed the Tofu from its package, the texture was really fluffy. I sliced it in square pieces and decided to fry it on my “barbecue” pan. I put one spoon of toasted sesame oil and when the pan was hot, I added the Tofu pieces. I let them cook for 10 minutes before turning them back. I think that was the right technique in order to keep the Tofu in bites. Then I added all the vegetables and some seasoning with Chinese spices and Soya sauce. This dish is really easy and quick cook and it is delicious to eat at lunch for your lunch break.

I hope you will enjoy cooking this new recipe for your lunch box. Have a nice week and see you next week with another tasty recipe.

Pumpkin and sweet potato soup

What’s cooking on in Pauline-Cuisine?

I hope you had a nice Halloween party with scary pumpkin and delicious black and orange cakes.  Last Saturday, I planned for the Halloween party to cook a creamy Halloween soup. However, my husband had an idea on his mind, and he stole the lovely pumpkin that I had bought for carving it. It was the first time that he did it and I was really impressed by the result.  On the middle of the party, the sharp of the pumpkin has changed because of the heat, but no worries, my husband had done to the pumpkin a “facial surgery” and the pumpkin was great all the party long.

Even if the Halloween pumpkin was nice, I had no more of it for cooking my soup. So I bought another one and when I was in the grocery shop, I decided to buy a sweet potato as well. The taste association was really great and it was a nice amendment to my last pumpkin soup. So I share with you this pumpkin and sweet potato soup with you. It is really easy to do. The most difficult thing is to peel the pumpkin but after it, let’s cook for 30 minutes and your soup is nearly ready, so delicious for a winter dinner.

I wish you a nice week and see you next week with another delicious recipe.
