Hi Steve,
Went looking for the SK Tofu, and cannot say that I am very tempted to
ferment tofu for days and days -
I already get very raised eyebrows and pinched noses when I do my weekly
Kefir fermentations.
Also, I suspect that it will turn out similar to the white fermented tofu
we buy (see link):
https://thewoksoflife.com/fermented-bean-curd/
which is an ingredient I use to add funkiness to stir fries and stews.
They have the texture of cream cheese and the white version (if a good
brand) can be eaten as is,
in v small quantities. (The red variation is mainly used for cooking meats).
Have you ever tried them?
Whilst checking that out, I found this recipe:
https://www.japancentre.com/en/recipes/1576-shio-koji-marinated-tofu-katsu-with-nori-seaweed
And I am tempted to do it - Grated garlic and SK marinated tofu which is
then coated in panko!!!
Love the idea if not the fact that it needs egg, coating and deep frying.

Hi Susan
I'm not making tofu!
Apparently KS on firm tofu becomrs umami cheese - not sure how long it
takes.
Had KS eggplant strips. Just with some sesame oil and pepper. Jen thiught
thet were great. A lot of liquid cam out in 30 minutes. Bit like Nasu
Dengaku.
The pork was fantastic. KS 2 hrs, then marinade in garlic, parsley,
rosemary 1 hr. KS only internally, but must have bled into rind as crackle
more crunchy and darker than usual. Meat very tender. But texture
transformed slightly to become a little cured ham type.
Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve,
I am due for my annual Lent of giving up booze and meats (but not fish).
So the mushrooms in KS will definitely be on the menu.
But in the meanwhile, the feasting of Chinese New Year (1 Feb) beckons.
Now in the planning stages for at least 5 makan (Malay for
eating/feasting)
sessions in the next month - Covid restrictions of up to only 5 guests per
day means
we need to separate our feastings instead of just having a single
large makan. .
Have not heard of KS Tofu - do you marinate tofu in KS or are you looking
to make your own tofu?
And yes, Vicki is superbly well read about all things Keto! So impressed!
By the way, Vicki, have you recovered from GERDS enough to be eating well
again?

Hi Susan
I did see them, but went the bigguns.
I'm intending to buy a whole bunch of different shrooms for KS when we do
the Liver Cleansing diet late Jan. I have too much meat to have b4. Roast
pork tonight done porchetta style, but KS inside for a few hrs before
marinade. Also, Eggplant KS slices.
We were thinking of a rapid keto fast diet, but not with my kidney
history. Vicki provided some wonderful info which also warned of this.
So Febsober Liver detox diet it is...
I'm investigating KS (firm) Tofu, which apparently becomes a nice dairy
free cheese sub - heard of this?
Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve,
Recently, I have been buying the baby versions of the king oysters.
I pay about $4 for a 200g/250g? bag of small ones (about 20 in a bag?).
They are good to drop into stews as is, and they absorb all the good
flavours.

Hi Kelly,
I call them King Oyster Mushrooms, but I believe they are called a lot of
other things:

We love them.

Hi All
Couple of pics of the king brown shrooms i did. Shio Koji 15 mins, wiped
off then marinated 15 min sesame oil, garlic, ginger and lime juice - 2 tsp
each.
Pan fried over medium heat. Delicious. I should have deglazed the pan, but
not drinking that night so no wine on hand. Should have used Verjus....
next time.
Looking to do some blue eyed cod next...
Cheers
Steve
