My mint was thriving inward my garden. Lots of it. I can't eat it that fast because my married adult man isn't a fan of it. I purpose it to a greater extent than oft than non for garnishes as well as grade most of them away to relatives.
When I saw this dish on Elin's blog, I knew I must brand this. But there's i problem. I don't accept the same tofu every bit she does. So, I adapted the method to what I could teach as well as use.
My thai basil was also growing furiously as well as needs lots of trimming..... I used them together amongst mint inward this dish.
Cook this dish non likewise long earlier serving. After leaving the dish for a while, the tofu could showtime releasing wet as well as the tofu crust volition non remain crispy. I don't know when exactly it started turning soft, because I cooked this 1 hr ahead of dinner time. It is nevertheless delicious, only no longer crispy when nosotros in conclusion had it during dinner.
