Coming home from our honeymoon, my husband and I were greeted with a bunch of plants on our doorstep. My dad had decided to unload some of his plants. Lucky for us, he gave us 2 pepper plants. It's very pretty too, since some of the peppers are purple and orange. Not your typical red or green peppers.
New Zealand and Australia were pretty healthy, so we wanted to keep up our health kick and start cooking better. I decided to make Grilled Tofu with a Chili sauce, since we had enough chili's to spare. I've never actually cooked tofu, so it was quite interesting. I didn't go completely by the recipe, but it would have been nice to read it a little better. I ended up soaking the tofu and asparagus twice with the chili sauce. I should have never underestimated those chili peppers either. Man did the dish have a kick. I put way too many peppers into the sauce. Nevertheless, the dish turned out quite well. In fact, it cleared my stuffy nose that night.
A few nights later I tried making the dish again, except the correct way. I did not soak it in chili sauce twice. Practice definitely makes perfect. The second try was a lot better. I was able to understand how to grill the tofu a little better without burning it.
