6 S AMPLE RECIPE I TALIAN - INSPIRED C RISPY T OFU AND C APONATA Caponata: Homemade Caponata (recipe provided) Signature Crispy tofu: 340g Vitasoy Tofu- Firm 120g corn flour, sifted Oil for deep frying For caponata, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add eggplant and stir occasionally until golden. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook the onions until translucent. Add the garlic, celery, chili flakes and roasted capsicum and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, until everything softens a little. Return the cooked eggplant and add tomatoes, sugar and a splash of water. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir through capers, olives, raisins and vinegar. Season to taste with pepper and extra vinegar and sugar to achieve the sweet and sour caponata flavor. For crispy tofu, cut Vitasoy Tofu into 8 cubes or 16 rectangles. Lightly coat with cornflour, shaking off any excess flour. Heat oil for deep-frying to 190C. Carefully drop tofu pieces in batches remembering not to overcrowd the pan. Fry tofu for 1 minute or until golden and crisp. Drain tofu on a wire rack. To serve caponata, stir through parsley before spooning over crispy tofu. Drizzle with extra olive oil and serve.

7 S PICY OMELETTE WITH KIMCHI AND TOFU FOR MOTHER’S DAY SERVES 2 Butter 30 g (1 oz), melted Cream (optional) 1 Tbsp Eggs 3 Cooking oil 2 Tbsp Grated cheese or baby spinach to serve 1 packet VitasoyTofu, firm, sliced into batons, lightly fried Add the butter and cream into the eggs. Beat slightly with a fork. Heat oil in a pan and add the egg mixture. Tip the pan to distribute the eggs, so they completely cover the bottom. As it starts to firm up, run a spatula under the edges, bunching the mixture toward the centre so the remaining liquid can cook. The eggs should cook slightly yet still remain moist on top. If desired, fill the omelette with your favourite topping—chopped kimchi and lightly fried Vitasoy Tofu, as well as other favourites! Turn off the heat and fold the omelette. Slide it onto a plate. Serve immediately.

8 DOUBLE GRILLED CHEESE AND TOFU SANDWICH MELT ( SERVES 4) 8 1/2-inch thick firm white sandwich bread 2 large eggs 1/2 cup heavy cream ½ packet of VitasoyTofu, lightly mixed in a bowl 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, leaves 1 teaspoon coarse salt A grating of nutmeg 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Place the mozzarella on 4 slices of the bread. Cover with the remaining slices to form sandwiches. Trim the crusts off to make perfect 4-inch squares. In a wide shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cream, thyme leaves, salt, and nutmeg. Add in the tofu and whisk until blended. In a 10 to 12-inch non-stick sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and cook until the sizzling subsides. Dip 2 of the sandwiches into the egg mixture, turning to coat, place in the pan, and cook until golden brown on the first side, about 2 minutes. Flip over and brown on the other side. Transfer the sandwiches to individual plates and repeat the process with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter, and 2 sandwiches. Cut in half, and serve immediately.
