Sequestration Meal #370

 

This meal can mostly be made ahead and then just baked; you'll have to bread the tofu just before you bake it and steam some asparagus when you're ready to pull things out of the oven and there you have it! This is sour cream and onion tofu nuggets (recipe from Feed Feed's The Vegan Sara), steamed asparagus with lemon, and scalloped potatoes (vegan recipe from Nora Cooks). My potatoes may have been slightly too saucy since the dish didn't hold its shape when cut but really I don't mind that at all. They were delicious.

The tofu nuggets were breaded and baked, but used the ingenious method of toasting the panko bread crumbs first so they had a good golden color no matter what. The recipe didn't tell me to press my tofu so I didn't, but if I were to make this again I would do that next time, because I would have liked these nuggets better f they were a bit firmer. I also think I'd like larger tofu steaks than these nugget-sized pieces, although the smaller size probably lets them soak in more of the marinade.
