I recently tried this delicious Grilled Tofu on Quinoa at the Food For Thought Cafe at the National Museum of Singapore. I'm not usually a fan of quinoa but to be honest, this was quite delicious. Quinoa was not cooked plain but with veg stock and it was topped with a vegetable tomato gravy and again topped with the grilled tofu.  Its vegan and gluten free too! The portion size was quite small for a whopping $16 but its a good take away recipe to try at home. The ingredients below serves 1.

Ingredients (For Flavoured Quinoa)
  • 1/2 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable stock (low salt)
  • Salt if required

Ingredients (Vegetable Tomato Gravy)
  • 2 tbsps canola oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped small
  • 3 garlic cloves, pounded 
  • 1/2 can of Hunts diced tomatoes/1 large tomato cut into medium sized cubes
  • 1 tsp garlic herb salt (see picture below)
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1/4 of a large zucchini cut into strips
  • 1/2 of red capsicum, cut into strips
  • 1/2 cup of shimeji mushroom (10 heads), rinsed
  • Salt per preference
  • 1 block of firm tofu, cut into 4 rectangle steaks

Method 
1) Firstly, rinse and cook the quinoa in the vegetable stock till all the liquid has evaporated.

2) Next, grill the tofus in shallow oil. Remove them when slightly golden brown and leave them on kitchen paper to absorb the oil.
