Skater Lunch Box #51
Rice with sesame furikake, blanched broccoli, a little bottle of soy sauce and rice vinegar mixed together, some tofu puffs in sauce, grape tomatoes, and yam pancake wedges.
This was my effort to redeem leftovers from a dinner I hadn't really enjoyed. The tofu puffs did not turn out well. I'd found a recipe online that I think I messed up, but I also didn't much like the texture of the tofu puffs in the first place. So I put some hot sauce on them, garnished them with scallions, and served them with a bunch of stuff I do like. I managed to eat them that way, so it was a victory; I won't get three meals out of the tofu puffs but two was respectable.
The yam pancakes were from the freezer section at H Mart. They're a filled pancake--a wheat-based outside with a kind of mashed yam inside--and went really nicely with the little sauce bottle I packed for myself.

This meal looks amazing! The little soy sauce bottle is so cute! I know it's annoying to have to salvage a recipe that didn't turn out the way you wanted it to. At least the tofu has some pretty great sides and the yam pancakes sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, they're really good pancakes. And sometimes, I just have to accept that my experiments fail.
DeleteThe pancakes sound amazing! I can get scallion pancakes from our Asian grocery stores, but I haven't seen yam ones!
ReplyDeleteI think this is the first time I ever did, too! Glad I'm adventurous.
DeleteLooks like a nice way to redeem your leftovers; the soy sauce bottle is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThey can be hard to fill but I love them!
