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

1 carton firm tofu

Peanut Sauce

1 cup peanut oil, for frying

salt

 

Deep-frying gives the tofu a golden crust and a soft interior, which is

especially appealing when the tofu is skewered and dipped in a pungent peanut

sauce. If deep-frying isn't something you want to do, you can shallow-fry the

tofu or simply brown it in a dry, or lightly oiled skillet. The textural

contrast won't be as evident, but with the peanut sauce on board, it will still

be very good.

 

Drain, then wrap the tofu and press it well. It should be quite dry since

you'll be deep-frying it. (In the meantime, make the peanut sauce.) Cut the

tofu into cubes about 3/4 inch across.

 

Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet until hot enough to sizzle a piece of tofu.

Add the tofu, 6 or 7 pieces at a time, and fry until golden but not brown. Turn

them so that they color on all sides, then remove to paper toweling to drain.

Sprinkle with salt and remove them to a serving dish.

 

Serve with the peanut sauce in a communal bowl oe individual bowls and provide

toothpicks for skewering and dipping.
