Re: Sweeeet!!!
Wed, March 8, 2006 - 6:31 PMi made this very late last night....not sure what to call it.
As much of my post bonghit cooking, it was highly improvisational but here is a summation.
First, take about 12 ounces of silken tofu and drop it in the blender. Added 1/4 cup of maple sryup and 2 ounces of gran marnier. Blended till very smooth
Then in a saucepan i added the juice of one orange and one lemon and the rind of the orange. Simmered this and added some kudzu and stirred and simmered till it was very thick and clear. Then added this to the blended tofu mix.
Then back in the sauce pan again, i put the juice of another orange and some agar and stirred till the agar was dissolved. Then added this to the tofu blend. Whipped it all up and poured it into some wine glasses and let it chill until it set.
Quite tasty! -

Thu, March 9, 2006 - 3:45 PMKudzu could be replaced with arrowroot powder, right? And, how much agar would you recommend for X amount of liquid? I have a bar/block of it that I try to shred up for things like these, but I don't really know how to improvise with it yet... -

Re: sweet bonghit blender delight
Fri, March 10, 2006 - 7:27 AMi never use arrowroot so i am not sure how much to use but certainly it can be used to replace kudzu. Sorry! start with a small amount as you can always add more if it is not thick enough
I like kudzu as it does not have a chaulky flavor or texture like cornstarch and it is actually very healthy for you. Unfortunately, it is insanely expensive here in the states but i brought a huge bag home from Japan, last year which is starting to get to the end. Have to go back to japan soon for ingredients :)

Fri, March 10, 2006 - 10:33 AMright on, thanks for the specifics! do you shred the bar before you drop it it, or does it dissolve just the same? -

Re: sweet bonghit blender delight
Fri, March 10, 2006 - 2:46 PMi crumble the bar up then put it in the juice and then using a low flame, stirred and let it simmer till it all dissolved.
Sweet bonghit blender delight is a great name. Not sure if any of my personal chef clients would like that name, though. :)
