LP3 Pinoy Street Food

Summer has just about gone, and the grill has been put away. I’m hoping we will have a couple of nice weekends in the coming months to fire it up just one more time, but the way the sky looks today, grey and dreary as it is, it is already looking to be a thing of the past.

We had a block of firm tofu that we weren’t sure what to do with, so we decided to stuff and fry it, similar to the dimsum fare stuffed with shrimps. I didn’t have any shrimps, so these were stuffed with more tilapia. Slice the tofu into 1/2 inch slices and slice … Read entire article »
