Description LOL! Here's something different for my gallery! I thought this would be something fun to submit. Dunno if culinary art is considered art here on DA. I couldn't find the right category for this so I placed it under tutorials! haha. Anyways, this is one of my favorite dish to cook. It's a family recipe. A very simple recipe and a healthy one too! This is what I cooked last night for dinner and I hope someone out there finds this dish to their liking. Most of my time was spent taking silly pictures of the ingredients rather than cooking heheheh Bon apetite! LOLNESS!!!!

Man this is the most original piece I've seen here in DA I don't know if it is in the right category, but seems pretty logic haha

The dish looks very good, but I don't know what tofu is, looks like cheese, what is it exactly?

hehehehe yeah I don't know which category to place it since they don't have one for culinary (or so I think). Tofu is made out of soybeans. It can be a meat substitute if you're a vegetarian! It's really good when it's fried and mixed with vegetables. glad to see you back again pal!

That blob kinda looks scary so I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to make this dish. But this is funny. I've never seen it done before. ^_^

Yeah. I mean I like tofu and all, but that looks a little too weird there to consume.
