Ghetto Fab Tofu and Blueberries in sweet miso sauce

This unusual dish is the result of tinkering with Miso reduction sauces trying to create a new, sweet miso sauce with lots of flavor. After getting the sweetness about right, I found that I then was craving a contrasting flavor in the dish. For some reason Fresh tart Blueberries came to mind. I know what you're thinking. "Really? Blueberries and tofu?" You have got to try this combination to get the full effect of its unusual personality. Its Ghetto Fab!

    I love blueberries, and I've been considering adding tofu to my diet. I'll have to give this a try. It's more complicated than I prefer ... I like easy to prepare meals. Thanks for sharing! :drinker:

    One quick tip for preparing food ahead of time for the week: We make 10-15 cups of rice at a time for the week, then divide into 1 cup ziplock bag servings squeeze as much air out as possible before sealing and freeze them. We go through a lot of rice so we use it within a week. Microwaving for 2 minutes is usually enough, or you can throw the frozen rice (while in the ziplock) in your steamer for about 5 minutes and it should be hot.

    We do the same with Beans, cooked poatatos, squash, etc. That way we can do a bunch of major cooking on our day off (it adds maybe an hour or two- which we can also do other chores at the same time such as house cleaning etc.) Its a huge time saver and lets us make more high maintenance menu items throughout the week.

    Hope you like the dish!
