another tofu recipe!



asian marinated tofu

here is the other tofu recipe i have been making a ton of lately. imagine a recipe that is a breeze to make, healthy and mighty tasty (bunny pie score 100!). now imagine me making this in my kitchen, dropping it like its hot to ludacris's 'southern hospitality' (+ 500 bonus stage!!!). um..ok. i don't know what else to say other than: make it now!!!


1/2 a block of tofu (about 7 oz?)
1 1/2 T soy sauce
1/2 t chili bean sauce (or more if you like spicy)
1 T fish sauce
1 t brown sugar
1 T cornstarch
pepper
vegetable oil


1. crumble tofu in a bowl in medium to large sized pieces (or cut into blocks or slices if you prefer). mix in all the ingredients except for the cornstarch until well combined. let marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
2. heat oil in pan. combine marinated tofu with cornstarch. spread tofu in frying pan and fry one side until darkened and crispy. flip over and fry the other side, breaking up the piece of tofu that have stuck together.
3.serve over rice or also pretty good eaten alone. this recipe serves 1 pair of lovebirds or 2 best friends forever.


no time to clear the table! must eat!

This rocks!! (but I just cut my tofu into cubes as I found that breaking them made them fall apart too much in the marinade and fry pan)

Thanks, Debs!

what type of tofu did you use? firm, silken? I've not cooked w/tofu much, but would love to.

I thought I commented on this. o.o

Anyway - I cooked this a couple of weeks ago. It was saltier than I'd like it to be, but it could be too much soy sauce? Also mine didn't really get crispy.. I'm not sure if i did something wrong. It tasted fine though!
