What's for Dinner #129 - the Bridge to Summer Edition - May 2026

Thank goodness we have the scooter & it wasn’t pouring today (for a change), as I had a late morning doctor’s appointment. Chilly, sure — but doable: with gloves, scarf, and leather jacket in MID-MAY :cold_face: This has been an odd spring, weather-wise.

I also did a quick grocery store run to pick up more scallions for tonight’s dinner: heavenly tofu, one of my favorite ways to enjoy the stuff :face_savoring_food:

The scallions provided bedding for cubed soft tofu that was nuked for approx. 3-4 min (removing any moisture that accumulated on the plate), then scolded with smoking hot oil, then bathed in a delectable concoction of oyster sauce, the HK chile oil I’m currently obsessed with, a lil rice vinegar, soy sauce, Maggi, and sesame oil.

Covered in even MOAR chopped scallions, heaping amounts of Sinatra, and sesame seeds.

Served on a preheated plate. Inhaled-I-mean-mindfully-enjoyed :wink:

Side was stir-fried mung beans with just a splash of soy sauce.

A nice meal in under 20 minutes :smiling_face:
