Getting Sauced

I was putting something away last night at work and I randomly spied this delicious sounding sauce. I ha a few bucks left from my "holiday bonus" so I decided to try it. I had some tofu being pressed by a can of chickpeas at home so the timing was perfect.
When I got home I sliced my tofu and put it in a baking dish and covered it with this sauce. I stuck it in the oven while I cooked some Basmati rice. The sauce is probably best used as more of a stir fry sauce, but I didn't want to be making a racket at twelve thirty at night. The oven is quieter and easier. I tasted a little while pouring over the tofu an really liked it. It has that tartness from the tamarind and a nice citrus kick.

Here is the final dish. With a little green onion an a whole lot of sriracha sauce. I would definitely buy this again. It's tangy and thick and citrus-y and the heat from the sriracha made it so much better. Next time I use it I will add crushed red pepper to the tofu while cooking. It didn't taste like it came from a jar at all.

When Joan is sleeping she is super easy to photograph. She'll even pose a lot of the time! But when she is up and moving she's constantly on the go. So this is a somewhat fuzzy but super wide eyed picture of Joan on the move! There are squirrels and birds to watch!
