burmese chickpea tofu ๐ฒ๐ฒ & vietnamese rice rolls ๐ป๐ณ
yes, eating your greens can be THIS yummy ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฅฌ๐ฑ๐
recently, I paid a visit to Green Harvest, a local farm which prides itself in producing a wide range of top quality vegetables which they grow hydroponically. in exchange for a day of learning to execute farm tasks like transplanting, harvesting and packing, I was prompted to cook for the team of farmers while utilising the vegetables that was freshly harvested from the farm.
as form of giving homage to the team of migrant worker farmers who mostly hailed from Myanmar, I decided to take on the task of recreating one of my favourite Burmese dishes, Tofu Thoke, which includes the use of a unique jelly-like โtofuโ made from chickpea flour. like other Burmese โthokesโ or tossed salads, this was a delightful balance of sweet, sour, salty and umami. although traditionally, it is more common twith cabbage, I used Green Harvestโs tender dou miao (pea sprouts) instead which gives and edge of freshness as well as complimenting the chickpea tofu well with itโs pea-like flavour.
as a added side serving, I also made Vietnamese-style rice paper rolls using Green Harvestโs Local Mixed Lettuce pack, pairing it with fillings of smoked duck and prawns.
