Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified. Source temperature equivalents could not be reconciled. Check the original instruction before cooking.
Instructions
- 1Fill a large (at least 6-quart / 5700 ml) pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat (approximately 100°C). Add the about 450 g Wide Egg Noodles and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still firm to the bite. Carefully drain the cooked noodles through a colander and set them aside.
- 2While the noodles are cooking, combine the 1 block Silken Tofu and 1/2 cup Dairy-Free Sour Cream in a blender. Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no visible lumps.
- 3Place a large (about 30 cm / 30 cm) skillet over medium heat (approximately 300-325°F / 150-160°C). Add the 2 tbsp Vegan Butter to the skillet and melt it completely, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.
- 4Add the drained about 450 g Wide Egg Noodles to the skillet with the melted butter. Toss the noodles gently for 1 to 2 minutes, until they are evenly coated with butter and heated through. Pour the prepared tofu mixture over the noodles.
- 5Add the 1 tsp Black Pepper and 1/2 tsp Salt to the skillet. Stir gently to combine all ingredients until the noodles are thoroughly coated with the creamy tofu mixture. Serve the Hungarian Cottage Cheese Noodles (Túrós Csusza) with Tofu immediately.
