Hello Frannie - edible tofu

[Guest guest]

Hi Frannie,

 

Wow, would love to see pics of the baby raccoons I bet 19 keep you

pretty busy!

 

Tofu takes on the flavor of whatever you put with it. Terry posted

this(below)a while back and I love it. I make sure to press the tofu

really well so it will absorb more and sometimes let it sit in the

marinade a while before I put it in the oven. I usually also add 1

Tbs red chili paste and reduce the oil. I have a couple slices on top

rice with steamed veggies or in a french roll like a bahn mi. Delicious.

 

hth,

Peace,

Diane

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound firm tofu

1 cup vegetable stock

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced ginger

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

 

Wrap the block of tofu in a clean, lint-free towel, place it in a

colander, and

place the colander in the sink. Place a plate over the towel-covered

tofu, then

a heavy can or other weight on top, and leave to press for 30 minutes.

Remove the tofu from the towel and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices.

Lightly oil

(or spray with oil) a 9- by 13-inch baking pan, place the tofu slices in a

single layer in the baking pan, and set aside.

In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the remaining

ingredients, and

pour the mixture over the tofu slices. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Remove the baking pan from the oven, carefully flip over the tofu

slices, and

bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until all of the liquid has been

absorbed.

Use as slices or dice for use in salads, sandwiches, vegetable or

grain side

dishes, or add to stir frys. Stores in an airtight container in the

refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.

Yields 8 or 9 slices.
