[recipe request] Green Beans, please! - fried tofu - judy

[Guest guest]

hi judy,

 

i use firm or extra firm tofu.  i drain it, slice it (about 4 thick slices), and

lay the slices out on a towel.  i cover them with another towel and press down

to remove all the liquid.  i'll change out towels and continue pressing until

the tofu is really dry.  i cut the tofu into cubes and then lightly dredge in

flour (or cornstarch).  then fry for about 3 to 4 minutes.  i use about a 1/2

inch of oil in the pan and just flip the tofu once to make sure it's browned on

all sides.  you can deep fry it to save the flipping.  i have tried this with

tofu straight out of the package and with tofu that has been frozen and

defrosted and I like the non-frozen better.

 

i've put the fried tofu into soups, curries, and have eaten it like an appetizer

with a sweet chile sauce or the soy-cilantro dipping sauce. 

 

hope this makes sense. lol.....it's been one heck of a day and i don't feel very

....uh, uh, uh, coherent?

Susie tell me how you fry your tofu. Do you freeze it first and press it and

then cut into chunks? Do you saute, flipping it from side to side or deep fry

it?

Thanks and this recipes sound yummy.

Re: [recipe request] Green Beans, please!

 

i like to use fresh green beans in thai curries. i take a can of

red (or green) curry paste and mix it with a can of coconut milk.

I add fresh green beans (or sometimes frozen) and other veggies

(eggplant, onions, squash, etc...) and cook until everything is

tender. Chunks of fried tofu is great added to the curry mix too

(even just tofu and green beans is great). Ever since I've

learned how to fry tofu, I've been using it in everything.

 

hope this helps,
