New discovery: daifuku

At the same recently reopened Asian market where I found the tofu puffs, I also found daifuku, a sweet, in the refrigerated section. I'd seen them before in a couple other bento photos of flickr, so I thought, "why not?"

I am so glad I did! These are strawberry and way tasty. The texture is a little weird at first, but not so weird I won't eat more.

Stir fry with tofu puffs, noodles with cilantro, obscenely ripe strawberries with strawberry daifuku, and a slaw-type-thing with cabbage, apples, celery and walnuts.

The stir fry was a couple days old, but still good. Just a little discolored because I used red cabbage. So everything kind of turned purple. And I just tossed in the tofu this morning so it didn't get all soggy.

The slaw-thing was good. Just one of those ideas I had that happened to work out. Would have been better with a different apple, but I stole the red delicious from a fruit basket from work and that was all I had to work with...
