Ginger and Tofu

I found this picture from last week and thought I should post it.  On this day we were assigned different countries and had to create a dessert based on common ingredients from that country.  Our country was Thailand so we used ginger, sesame seeds, tofu, coconut and soy sauce.  Yes, I know, sounds like a crazy combination…it was, but they were all subtle enough that they worked.  We made a ginger infused pannacotta on a ginger cookie crust and mini coconut milk infused tofu pieces coated in coconut and sesame seeds then pan seared.  In the center is a soy sauce gelee to round out the dish.
