What follows is the transcript of “Cooking with the Master: for the Vegetarian, Episode XVII”
I (Gore): Wow, they've really put a lot of money into the new sets.
Master: We've had higher ratings with the new format and viewership is way up.
I (Gore): Who'd have thought there would be so much interest in tilapia?
Narrator: Filming in 5...4...3...2...1...
Master: Ladies, Gentlemen, Gooood Eeeeevening! And welcome to "Cooking with the Master," a show about cooking. I ... am the Master! Joined by sous chefs Gore and Ninja Squirrel, I will demonstrate revolutionary advances in BBQ Science. The topic of this week’s show is "for the vegetarian." Recently there have been many inquiries into what to cook for that special guest who does not eat meat. Today we will address this dilemma by making that special meal that any vegetarian would truly love.
I (Gore): Chicken, Master?
Master: No Gore, despite having a brain comparable to that of a head of lettuce, most people do still consider chickens to be animals.
I (Gore): Steak?
Master: I can see I'm going to need some assistance. Gore, can you pull the lever on the transmorgraphier please.
[sparks and smoke]
Narrator: Audience, please welcome, Bigabyte!
[Cheers from the audience]
Great to have you with us, Mr. Byte. Tonight's episode is on vegetarianism, and we'd like to make something for that guest who doesn't eat meat. I brought you here as an expert and would like your help.
Bigabyte: Uhhhhhhhh....
Master: Gore, what is wrong with him?
I (Gore): Hold on a second, Gunter has been using a mind-control device on him. Here [fiddles with device], that ought to do it!
Bigabyte: ... Tilapia ... Tilapia ... Tilapia....
Master: Gore, are you sure he's in his right mind now?
I (Gore): Positive.
Master: Ok then, I'll just go on without his assistance. Well, for our lesson today, we're going to use tofu!
[Moans from the audience]
I realize that most of your experience with tofu has been in the form of a tasteless blob, but most vegetarians have forgotten what good food tastes like!
[laughs from audience]
In all seriousness, tofu is an amazing medium.
[more laughs from audience]
I (Gore): [Aside to audience] That's not supposed to be a joke. If you want to get paid, we need your cooperation.
Master: It takes on the flavors of what it is cooked with. If you prepare and season it well, you can make wonderful dishes.
Bigabyte: Can we cook it with a steak?
[cheers from audience]
Master: No, we're going to make it even better! The first thing we do is to prepare the tofu by draining and squeezing the water out of it. We weight it down as Ninja Squirrel demonstrates:
When it is drained, we marinate the tofu with a heavy dose of EVOO, adobo seasoning and some lime juice:
We coat the tofu on both sides and let it soak up the flavor:
Now we get serious with the vegetables:
Biggie: Eggplant, mmmmm, eggplant!
That's right! Biggie, can you prepare the eggplant, please? We cut it into slices and salt it. After half an hour or so, we rinse it off, dry it and coat it with EVOO:
Now we can grill that eggplant and tofu hot and fast!
Of course it helps to have a flavor burst! I prefer some salsa and avocado!
I (Gore): Avocado, Master? I didn't pick any up at the store.
No problem, Gore. Pull the lever! We can get our avocado fresh from California!
[Sparks and smoke]
I (Gore): Milton?
Master: Ninja Squirrel will now demonstrate how to prepare an avocado.
Milton: Aaaaaaaah!
[Cheers from the audience]
I (Gore): I really didn't need to see that.
Master: And now fully assembled, we have our Tofu Taco!
[Audience cheers]
