Lenten and vegetarian dishes should be attractive to smooth out the sadness of voluntary asceticism. Beetroot risotto is just one of those, lean, but beautiful and bright. The risotto itself is prepared as usual: you just need to combine rice with fried beetroot cubes, constantly stirring in a saucepan and slowly adding broth, wait until the cereal reaches the al dente state and becomes an even crimson color. In the end, the risotto is generously sprinkled with crumbled tofu, pre- marinated in lemon and garlic. The stereo effect is that the tastes of red rice and snow-white tofu are combined only in your mouth: creamy texture, light beetroot sweetness, barely perceptible garlic note and perfume aroma of zest.

Do you still think that tofu is window putty? Maybe it is useful, but absolutely tasteless? You just don't know how to handle it! In this recipe, Vlad Suchkov acts as an advocate of soy cheese: he does not try to portray it as either fish or meat, but treats it as a full-fledged product. If you keep tofu (not for long!) in an elementary marinade of soy sauce, lemon juice and sugar, it will taste like an amazing thing, reminiscent of either a bamboo shoot or lemon marmalade, and will fit very well into the soup of young peas. And the soup itself, where an Asian accent is added by means of lemongrass, does not need advocates: such green soups are a real consolation for us in the slushy off-season. Vlad Suchkov shared this recipe with us, Chef of Blush gastrobar.

The essence of the salad is that deep-fried tofu and thinly sliced carrots, cucumber and red onion feathers are combined with a spicy Asian-style dressing with ginger, fish sauce, sesame oil , chili and a whole bunch of mint and cilantro. This is exactly the case when tofu does not pretend to be anything, but looks exactly what it is: a pure protein product with a luxurious silky texture. The king of the salad is the retinue (that is, the sauce) - with its help, a pile of ordinary garden vegetables turns into an exotic dish that intrigues the receptors. How spicy the dressing should be due to the hot chili and how tart and salty due to the fish sauce is left to the discretion of the chef.

Rice bowl from Oleg Shin, chef of Coba Hand Roll Bar, looks like disassembled sushi, and the principle of its assembly demonstrates a lot in the Pan-Asian tradition. First of all, typical Asian handling of meat, which is cut into thin slices and literally immersed in boiling water for a couple of seconds, preserving a semi-raw texture. Secondly, handling of tofu, which, before getting into a bowl with boiled rice, is lightly marinated in a complex broth of apples , mirin and seaweed, acquiring a marine, distinctly "seafood" flavor. Spinach greens and shiitake mushroom caps are blanched in the same broth. And on top of all this spicy-sweet-sour broth, a poached egg is placed so that when opened, it envelops both the meat and vegetables with a warm, runny yolk. Recipe from Oleg Shin, chef of Coba Hand Roll Bar.
