Tofu with Asparagus and Mushroom
10/01/2010
asparagus and mushroom dress by Melissa
Yup that is inspired by my favorite veggies!
I simply requested it from Melissa
and the talented fashion designer was gracious enough
to came up with it here in Pink Spilled Paint!
And for my recipe, here try it.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups 1/2 inch cubed firm tofu
200 grams asparagus, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 cup sliced shiitake mushroom
3 tbsp oyster sauce mixed with 1/4 cup water
1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic and tofu together until the tofu turns light gold.
2. Add the shiitake mushroom and the oyster sauce mixture. Leave for about 10 minutes.
3. Toss the asparagus with the tofu mushroom. It will take about 4 minutes for the asparagus to cook.
4. Transfer to a serving plate.
BURP!
hmm I think a red bell pepper dress would be lovely.
How about you, what veggie dress do you have in mind right now?
Let’s IMAGINE it altogether!

I’m a fan of green beans and carrots cooked together, with a dash of butter – but I don’t look very good in orange. (Doesn’t work with my skin tone.) So… perhaps an eggplant/zucchini/squash/onion sauté? With all those colors, much could be done with a dress…

ahaha
a gown could be made out of it
you just need a party invite to go with it
🙂

Heck, for the “right” garment, I could make my own party. 🙂

Hmm… Escarole. Short and sassy. Crinkles and frills. Dreaming of winter salads. 🙂

For about a year now i’ve been envisioning a “banana print sweater” that is yellow and covered in little brown splotches hehe : )
Not quite a vegetable but i’ve always liked fruity solutions haha
10/01/2010 at 4:33 PM
that’s cool!
with an ice cream
that would be banana split
🙂

That recipe sounds really good.
Now I am trying to think of a veggie dress. Sweet potato pie? (I know…it’s a dessert.) 🙂
10/01/2010 at 8:44 AM
ah yes
lovelier with a crust!
🙂
10/01/2010 at 7:34 AM
Wonderful imagination Rea..Love how you thought of veggie colors to dress colors..
Fun..
10/01/2010 at 8:06 AM
i hope i’ll be inspired to go vegan. LOL
beyond colors i see veggie forms
but i can’t draw it yet fashionably
so for the meantime it’s in my head
🙂

Awww that’s my design. Hehe 🙂
How much is 200 grams of asparagus? I never understand what a gram is haha (Not so much a great cook. But I try haha)
10/01/2010 at 6:58 AM
so yes!
maybe you can start a book of veggie fashion
with what they will imagine in here!
200grams is around 10pcs of small asparagus or 1 cup
the recipe is also good without mushroom in it
🙂
10/01/2010 at 1:23 PM
Awesome thanks! 🙂 I have small asparagus and I never know what to cook with them. But I always buy them because my boyfriend likes them. I’ll try this. 🙂
10/01/2010 at 4:47 PM
got to cook that asparagus
for your bf!
sweet
🙂
10/01/2010 at 1:24 PM
Oh and I’ll keep that book in mind. 🙂
10/01/2010 at 4:53 PM
go for it now!
sketch it and maybe collaborate
with a cookbook author
if you want recipe with it.
Let me know if you like the idea
and I’ll introduce you to Jamie
for your Food & Fashion
or your Veggie Vogue!

What a delicious inspiration! 🙂
I think I will have to print it out and have a taste, then see what visions pop into my head!
10/01/2010 at 6:28 AM
have fun thinking about it! 🙂
