Veggicurious Cooking in and eating out, vegetarian, in Philadelphia and beyond. Trying to keep it local, fresh, community oriented, and curious.

I’m about to make a very bold claim: this is, very likely, the most delicious dish I have every cooked. Seriously. In the last 19 years of cooking, I think that I have never, every made anything this delicious. This black pepper tofu recipe from Plenty involved fried tofu, butter, shallots, red chilis, 12 cloves of garlic, ginger, three kinds of soy sauce, 5 Tbs. of hand-crushed black peppercorns, and fresh green onions.

All of those things sound delicious, but I think it is difficult to understand just HOW delicious. Moaning aloud delicious. Have to take a break in the middle because it is rich and spicy delicious, if a restaurant made this I would go there every week delicious, after eating I have to lay down for a half-an-hour because I am swooning with lust and happiness delicious. Wow.
