COMMUNITY COOKING WITH THE CO-OP

Need a new recipe? Join us!

Coos Bay Library has teamed up with Coos Head Food Co-op to provide safe, easy, and healthy recipes to create at home. Join us virtually on Zoom for this fun community event!

Monthly Event: Every Fourth Thursday!

For this month’s recipe, Coos Head’s Produce Manager, Marlow, will be making Ginataang Tofu.

GINATAANG TOFU

Ginataang (GHEE-nah-ta-ANG) is a Filipino dish meaning “done with coconut milk”, so Ginataang tofu is tofu cooked with coconut milk (amongst other things). It often uses fish sauce, but to keep this recipe vegan, I opted for liquid aminos (soy sauce works too), rice vinegar, and mushrooms to give a similar flavor. This dish is served with rice but is great on its own or with bean thread or rice noodles.
