Korean spicy tofu wings 🥢

Fried tofu in a spicy sauce on a plate

Who doesn’t love spicy chicken wings? My favorites are the Korean ones with spicy or yangnyeom sauce. In Korean these are 두부 양념 치킨. To keep this gout friendly we will substitute extra firm tofu for wings. The sauce will have enough flavor to keep this from being a boring tofu recipe. Tofu cooked in this style is called Dubu-gangjeong (두부강정)

In Korea going out for chimek (chicken and beer) is quite common. Everywhere you go you will see fried chicken places. Eating spicy chicken makes it easy to drink lots of beer. But since I have gout eating lots of fried chicken and drinking beer is off the menu. But I still like the flavor of KFC or Korean fried chicken. This recipe satisfies the urge for KFC and is gout friendly.

Lentil Salisbury Steaks 🍲

As someone who suffers from gout, I have two choices a diet of reduced meat consumption or have painful attacks. I do not like pain so reduced meat consumption it is. My daily limit is four to six ounces of lean meat per day. That’s not per meal that’s per day. To stay within this now more than half of my meals are without any meat.

Simple Vegetarian MaPoTofu 🍙

Simple Ma Po Tofu

For a long time, Sichuan Ma Po Tofu has been one of my favorite Chinese dishes. But most of the versions to this point have contained meat (usual pork). I even have a video on YouTube on how to cook that version. To keep the dish gout friendly the pork has been eliminated. It is still flavorful so do not worry about the missing pork. From what I read the dish started out as a cheap vegetarian meal so now we go back to basics.
