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

A natural plant-based bristled brush is used, right before you get in your shower, or bath. Brush the skin with gentle light strokes starting at the bottom of your feet working ...

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 ...
