Mexican Style Tofu Scramble Bowl

A really easy bowl to make and super delicious! I really like the recipes I see out there for "bowls". It's kind of funny because this is what I have pretty much done on my plate for a long time now. I would stir it all together, much to my children's chagrin. Well, at least one of my children. She does not like things touching each other. She is not especially a fan of curries for example. Now, though, as she gets older, she is not quite so outraged about touching food.

The bowl concept is a pretty sexy one, I think. So pretty, sitting there in the bowl. Fun to see all the components and then mixing the beauty together with the noodles or rice or whatever underneath. I think what makes a good bowl is the blend of something crunchy, something piquant or spicy, something salty and something creamy. Just lovely!

Gobi Manchurian

This Gobi Manchurian is the bomb. Its sweet and spicy. I really enjoyed this over rice. You can totally deep fry your cauliflower but I preferred it baked without the oil. You really wont miss the oil once it is bathed in this crazy good sauce.
