Kitchen inspiration comes from the passion to cook and learn new dishes. But sometimes, it's fueled by the things you find in your pantry.


I bought Tong Garden packed sunflower seeds a while back. They were shelled and seasoned but I didn't like 'em any more than my usual garlic peanuts. They were just too small to snack on.

My preschooler didn't like it either. Trying to make a kid's snack healthier can really make a mother experimental.

So back in the kitchen, instead of simply coating my tofu with flour, I whipped up what I call the Sunflower-Tofu Chips.
