Spicy Tofu Soup

Another good asian dish from plated.  It wasn't too spicy but then again I didn't add all the chilli sauce.  Since I did all the prep work the night before it was really easy and the fact that you only need one pot was great.  When I get soup I often think about the cost as I feel this was probably one of the dishes that didn't cost them that much but here I am paying $12 for a bowl of soup.  But as I liked it a lot I won't complain that much. 

What I liked - The tofu I found was very addicting.  I had to stop myself from snacking too much on it while the broth/veggies were cooking.  I do like tofu, especially when it has a nice crispy layer to it.  Really it was all good.

What I didn't like - Had to add quite a bit of salt to this which I was surprised at given the soy sauce and veggie base in it.  All my pots are not non-stick which made the tofu stick a bit to the pan when frying, of course I could have used one of my non-stick frying pans, but then it wouldn't have been one pot.

Modifications - I prepped it the night before and had the tofu draining all night in my fridge (between two plates and paper towels under some milk to press out the liquid) which is much longer then the 10 minutes in the recipe.  I am not sure if this had any affect of the final outcome though.  As I said before had to add quite a bit of salt to the final broth.  Also added some coconut oil in with the sesame oild when frying the tofu.

4 stars- yum.
