fauxkloreNote the plural. The first new thing I tried making was sriracha mayonnaise, to imitate what I'd had at a restaurant. It was good, but mixing sriracha sauce into mayonnaise is really too trivial to count as a recipe. I will definitely do this again as a dip for french fries.
Tonight, I made tofu in peanut sauce. The sauce was basically peanut butter, soy sauce, stir fried scallions, and finely chopped ginger mixed together. Stir fry tofu in a mixture of olive oil and sesame oil, add the sauce ingredients. Take off the heat and sprinkle with dried coconut and sesame seeds. Pretty basic and tasty, but I didn't use quite enough ginger (despite having doubled what the recipe called for.) I suspect that both lemon grass and garlic would also help.
