Sesame seeds, for garnish - optional

Method

Pat the tofu with a paper towel until dry.  Cut into 2" cubes.
Heat a large frying pan or skillet on high heat and add some of the oil, then immediately turn the heat to low. Add a batch of the tofu, laying the pieces face-down on the pan  and let fry for  until brown on the pan side. Keep on flipping the sides until all sides are brown. Remove and plate. You will likely need to fry the pieces in batches. The oil can splatter, so be careful.

Fried Chicken Wings - Korean Style#SundayFunday

I had local dark soy sauce so the color turned blackish, use light soy sauce. If you do not have light soy sauce then reduce the quantity of soy sauce to half. I used potato starch this made the chicken wings nice and crispy . I have also refried them. First fry them till they are nearly done or 80% done and keep aside. When your are ready to serve, heat the oil again and re fry them on medium high flame. They will be crunchy and crispy.

1" Piece Ginger
2 Fresh Red Chillies

Mix Veg Clear Soup#SoupSwappers

This is clear soup, it's vegan and gluten free too.  For this soup, have used  all quick cooking vegetables.  These are chopped in the size that would help in cooking fast. The order of adding vegetables is also such, that the ones that take a little longer time, are added in first.

Serves 3 to 4
Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Each Red, Green, Yellow Bell Peppers
2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Cauliflower

2 Tablespoons Boiled Sweet Corn

2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Carrot

1 Spring Onion - finely chopped

1 Small Onion - finely chopped

1/2 Cup Cabbage - finely chopped 

1 Teaspoon Grated Ginger

1 Scallion / Spring Onion - finely chopped  

2 Tablespoons Olive oil

1 Tablespoon Coriander Leaves - finely chopped

1500 Ml  Water

2-3 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar

1 Tablespoon Soy sauce

For Serving As per Taste

Chilly Vinegar

Black Pepper powder

Salt to taste

Tomato Ketchup

Method

In a large sauce pan heat the oil, add onion sauté on high for a minute, add grated ginger, when the ginger is fragrant then add carrots. Sauté on medium high for a minute, add cauliflower, reduce the flame to sim, add little salt, just enough for these vegetables, cover and cook for about 2 minutes, as carrots and cauliflower need a little extra time to cook. 

Now add cabbage, spring onion, sweet corn , coloured bell peppers,  apple cider vinegar, soy sauce and water. Just bring it to rolling boil switch off the flame, that 's done. Want to retain the color and the crunch of the vegetables hence one rolling boil, is all I give. 

Serve this in soup bowls, garnished with coriander leaves.  Let each one add the seasoning to their choice and according to taste. 

Eat and drink this soup hot with a spoon, so that you enjoy the flavours and crunch of the veggies.
