“Steakhouse” Dinner

Playing with the idea of a “steakhouse” dinner with the bounty from Chinatown, we made some mashed Japanese sweet potatoes, smoked tofu “steaks” and a side of greens (in this case, not spinach, but bok choy). Delicious! Japanese sweet potatoes are definitely sweeter than the usual yams and almost taste like chestnuts. I’m very excited to try using them in a sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving.
i got scared when the title came up…
mmm, smoked tofu is soo good!
This looks terrific! I am still having trouble finding smoked tofu..
@heather – ask your grocery store to stock it : )
I’ll go give it a try. Can’t hurt to ask!
Where do you live Heather?
Hey, Tina! This meal looks so fantastic–I really love the idea of the Japanese sweet potatoes. I’m on the lookout for them. Anyway, I am so in love with this site of yours; I can’t wait to see what you whip up for Thnxgiving!! Happy Holidays!
I am in The Woodlands, TX. We have a great market down the street called Hubble and Hudson. I know the owner so I thought I’d give it a shot and ask him to carry it. They already have loads of vegetarian items..just no smoked tofu. We’ll see!
oh, i love japanese yams. the idea of them in a sweet potato pie is amazing!!
