Sunshine Tofu with Chives 郁金豆腐

Sunshine Tofu with Chives 郁金豆腐

We all loved the tofu dish from yesterday’s lunch. It was so satisfying and delicious. I cooked three packages of tofu after our Saturday long bike ride (overly ambitious). We were super hungry and couldn’t wait to eat right away once we were home. Tofu was a perfect choice of a quick, healthy and fulfilling lunch for the moment. I had some left over chives from my previous cooking, it reminded me a yummy breakfast tofu scramble that I had somewhere many many years ago before the kids era. It inspired me to make my own version of the tofu stir fry. The turmeric powder (郁金粉) is the key spice for the tofu, it gave an earthy-sweet taste and a beautiful sunshine color to the tofu. Meanwhile the chives added some delicate onion flavor to the dish. I think some steamed rice will go really well with this tofu dish too, but we were too hungry to wait for it so we had some sourdough bread instead.
