Asian Style Coconut Cream & Marrinated Tofu

This Dish is a treat I was craving Thai food and I was hoping to recreate the flavor of this popular Asian Soul Food. But in lockdown, It would be impossible to go to a restaurant for this. So I had to think quick! and I just happen to have found these ingredients at Trader Joes. this dish was inspired because I missed the flavors of lemongrass, creamy coconut milk, and hot spices. I must admit this is the best thing I have made all year. No doubt about it!.! These are the ingredients and how I made: marinated Tofu w/ Lemongrass, Tumeric, with Coconut Cream- long name huh!

1 to 1/2 package of Trader Joes firm Tofu
1/4 cup of soy sauce

1 table of brown sugar
1/2 package mixed vegetables.

1/8 cup of scallions
1 teaspoon garlic powder. Sprinkle of pepper

2 teaspoons Mekhala Organic Lemongrass turmeric paste (Trader Joes)

2 tablespoons Mina Harissa Spicy Moroccan Red Pepper Sauce (whole foods))
2 tablespoons sesame oil

Mix these ingredients in a bowl and let sit for a few minutes.
Pour a little oil or coconut oil in a saucepan to get hot.

Saute mixed ingredients in hot oil, then give it a little water and simmer for 15 minutes, on low heat.
Add mixed vegetables halfway through the simmering process, at the end of the process add coconut, stir, and turn off the heat, and finish simmering.
Heat your rice or make a pot of rice.

You can, of course, use all the fresh ingredients, but for me, the less variable I have to deal with the fewer mistakes I tend to make. Most of the ingredients are from Trader Joes because they had a short line on my way home so I jumped in line Lucky Me!
I love this dish,
I hope you love it too

Chi Nei Tsang, Taoist Massage, My personal experience

Mantak Chia Taoist Master Che Nei Tsang Chi Nei Tsang, where the hands are used to direct the Chi (Qi) through the belly region distributing the energy throughout the body. When done properly with deep breathing, toxins and gas are expelled from the belly along with tension. The nervous system is calmed, and revitalized. Deep emotional issues are magically resolved healing physical problems too. What do I mean by this! The Taoist Monks and Nuns knew a way to reach deeper issues hiding in the seat or center of the body where the major organs are, and knew how to clear toxins due to stomach congestion, and stagnant (Qi), causing mental disruption, and emotional stress, we don't truly know if one leads to the other. My teaching tells me they do coincide, tummy upset and mental stress. When you are fearful or upset it causes tightness, and ...

Ephphatha- An Opening for Healing-Mark 7:34

What a revelation to know Jesus has a very special healing word. We find it in Mark 7:34, Jesus used this transformational word to open the heavens to bring down the healing grace of God to a deaf man. The place where it happened was Decapolis( 10 cities), in Greece and was an area in the Roman Empire bordering Judea. In the Bible it didn't say why he was there, I suspect he was there on a healing tour because that is what he did and still does. When he came there a man was brought to him and the people begged Jesus to heal this man we don't know who he was, but he was obviously special to the people. So Jesus pulled the man aside and stuck his fingers in his ears and spat on his tongue and then Jesus said the word in Greek "Ephphatha". The Aramaic translation means Be Open, and the Greek form of the word means "Be opened in order to make a connection". While performing the miracle for the deaf man Jesus looked up into the heavens, and in an audib...

A ray of sunshine is beaming down on you making you warm and rel...
