Stuffed tofu and roasted cherry tomatoes

it's been raining for days and the closest grocery shops in my area are in japan town. so i walked in the rain to Ninjima market and got some fried tofu skin, crimini mushrooms, ground pork and cherry tomatoes. lunch will be healthy this week, since i decided to stuffed the fried tofu skin with roasted mushrooms, ground pork, roasted garlic and minced tofu skin.

preheat oven at broil 500 degree F. i washed and dried all the tomatoes and mushrooms, tossed them in olive oil and whole roasted garlic gloves. place them in a baking dish, sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper, bake under the broiler for 10 minutes, the tomato skins will blister. take them out at let them cool down, warm to the touch. slice mushroom and garlic, mix them well with ground pork and mince tofu skin, season with honey, salt, pepper and soy sauce. i had 10 pockets of tofu skin and enough filling to fill them all. place the stuffed tofu pockets in the baking dish, cover with foil, poke some holes in the foil to let the steam out and bake at 375 degree F for 30 minutes. turn off the oven and let the stuffed tofu rest in the oven for 10 minutes.

For lunch, i packed the stuffed tofu with roasted cherry tomatoes over a small bed of steam jasmine rice. and bon appetit...
