This Can't be Tofu! --Bachelor Tofu Sandwiches

[Guest guest]

There are several noticeable typos or missing words in this book, including

the recipe below where we are told to slice the onion into 14 inch

slices. I assumed 1/4 inch slices.

In about 15 minutes you can go from looking at a carton of tofu to sitting

down to a savory hot sandwich. What's inside it? Sauteed onions and

mushrooms covering golden tofu glazed with Worcestershire sauce or A - 1

sauce, if you prefer

 

1. Slice the tofu crosswise into 8 pieces, slightly less than 1/2 inch

thick. Set them on paper towels and blot. Don't worry about the tofu

getting really dry. It will dry as it cooks.

 

2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet. Brush with 2 teaspoons of the oil and

add the tofu. Cook over medium-high heat until golden, about 6 minutes on

each side. Douse with the Worcestershire sauce and turn the tofu

once. Continue frying until the sauce is absorbed and the tofu is laced

with a fine glaze. Turn off the heat and season well with salt and plenty

of pepper.

 

3. While the tofu is cooking, place a 10-inch skillet over high heat and

add the remaining oil. Add the onion and mushrooms. Saute until scared

and nicely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

 

4. Toast the bread or nor, as you wish. Cover with mustard and

horseradish (fresh tomatoes and mayonnaise would be good here as well), add

the tofu slices, top with the on ions, close, press, and dig in.
