Lunch

Sesame Tofu and Eggplant stir fry

The second recipe today has the key ingredients of Tofu and Eggplant. However, if you do not like tofu, replace it with paneer. Eggplant, on the other hand, is now available around the year and can be cooked in many different ways. Sesame seeds are Keto friendly and have a very mild flavor of their own. Get a small bottle of sesame oil and try it in some Keto dishes, it is pretty delectable.

Serves – 4

Prep Time – 20-25 minutes

Cooking Time – 30-35 minutes

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

3 tablespoons vinegar

2 cloves garlic

2 teaspoons stevia or erythritol

1 cup fresh cilantro chopped

450 gms firm tofu

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 whole eggplant about 300 gms

1/4 cup sesame seeds

1/4 cup soy sauce

Pepper to taste

Salt to taste

Procedure

Preheat the oven to 2000F Wrap the tofu with some paper towels and apply weight upon it, you can use a plate for doing so and put some weight upon it to thoroughly distribute the pressure. This is done to let most of the water escape from it Take a bowl and add 1/4 cup of cilantro, 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil, 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of crushed red pepper flakes, and minced garlic to it. Mix it thoroughly Remove the skin of the eggplant and cut into small, thin noodle-like pieces. Mix it properly with marinade Place a skillet over medium heat setting and pour a tablespoon of olive oil in it. Heat it and then add the eggplant in it. Keep cooking until the eggplant softens Stir the remaining cilantro into the eggplant slices and then transfer it to an oven-safe dish and turn off the oven. Cover it with a lid or foil and place into the oven for keeping it warm Now, unwrap the tofu and cut it into 8 slices. Place the sesame seeds in a plate and put all the tofu pieces, one by one, in it from each side Pour 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in the same skillet (after wiping it out) and heat it. Fry both sides of each tofu in it. It would take about 5 minutes per side of each tofu piece. Now, pour the 1/4 cup of soy sauce into the skillet for coating the pieces of tofu. Keep cooking the tofu slices until they get well caramelized with the soy sauce Take out the eggplant noodles from the oven, place the tofu on top of them, and have it

If you like Eggplant, then you will absolutely love this recipe. And Tofu lovers will bookmark it for sure.

Dinner

Sesame Almond Zoodle Bowl

When I first heard the word Zoodle, it completely baffled me. Soon I realized that it was a fancy term for zucchini in the form of noodles. You would need a zoodle maker for the perfect noodles, but if you like me, even a grater or a cucumber slicer will do the job. The only thing to remember is that you don’t peel the zucchini and ensure you get a firm piece. Also if you don’t have sesame oil you can simply use a good olive oil

Serves – 3

Prep Time – 10-15 minutes

Cooking Time – 10-15 minutes

Ingredients:

For Sauce:

2 tablespoons chopped almonds

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon erythritol or stevia

1/4 butter

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

For Zoodles:

2 medium-size zucchini

1 cup shredded broccoli

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

Procedure

Put a skillet on a medium-high heat setting and pour 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in it. Heat it for a while before adding shredded broccoli, cabbage, and mushrooms to it. Keep cooking until they turn soft Use a vegetable spiralizer to make zucchini noodles and use paper towels to remove excess water from them. Add the zoodles to the skillet and use a fork to gently turn the zoodles until they turn soft and transfer them to a big bowl Prepare the almond-sesame sauce by adding 1/4 cup of almond butter, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon of erythritol in a small bowl.
