February 28, 2014 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

This is a variation on yesterday’s post in which I used a square of fried tofu as a base. Here, I added several layers, including raw greens.

Heat a cast iron or stainless steel skillet on a medium flame for about 30 seconds. Add one Tablespoon of the sesame oil and allow it to heat for about 20 seconds. Place four tofu squares in the pan.  While the first side is browning, add a drop of soy sauce on top of each piece of tofu.

When the tofu is lightly browned, turn it over and brown the other side. Remove from pan and dredge on brown paper bags. In the meantime, cut the red pepper into four equal-sized pieces.

and then remove and dredge on brown paper bags. Place the red pepper in the pan and lightly brown both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side.)

Now assemble the club: place one tofu square on the plate. Add a piece of red pepper on top;

Then place another piece of tofu on top of the arugula + a piece of red pepper + a piece of yellow squash + arugula and scallion. Now make another one and serve.

My daughter had her 10th birthday celebration with Nancy over zoom (due to Covid 19). They cooked a delicious meal for 8 people, which all adults and kids enjoyed. Nancy is fabulous in making cooking fun, nourishing, educational, and spiritual. My daughter also did a few cooking workshops with her in the past and loved them. She keeps asking for more. I highly recommend Nancy's cooking classes and party workshops.
