Apple Asian Slaw-Southern Summer Feast


We're almost done with the Southern Summer Feast and adding a non-southern entry. You could of course do a traditional cole slaw, but I get bored easily and tried this variation.

Veggies:
1 green apple
about half a head of cabbage
sesame seeds (sprinkle as you like)
(would also be good with carrots, bell pepper, etc.)

Dressing:
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup veggie oil
2 tbl soy sauce
a tiny amount of sesame oil

Stir up dressing, toss with veggies, done!

Crispy Fried Tofu-Southern Supper Feast



A little like fish, this is the only form of tofu my mom will eat. Drain and squeeze out the tofu with a paper towel. Meanwhile the batter is half cornmeal, half flour, a 1/4 cup of each should suffice. Toss in salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and some oregano. Cut the tofu into thin rectangles and then roll them in the batter. Use plenty of oil and fry up those puppies.
