Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

2 1/2 pounds extra-firm tofu -- (20 slices)

MARINADE:

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

1 teaspoon crushed garlic

4 drops liquid smoke flavoring

1 tablespoon cornstarch

BREADING MIXTURE:

2 cups fresh bread crumbs

2 teaspoons dried thyme

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

4 teaspoons paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

 

Rinse each block of tofu and slice across the narrow width into 10 slices.

Place on paper towel to absorb excess moisture.

 

Combine the marinade ingredients on a sheet pan, then lay the tofu slices into

the marinade. Turn the slices over once or twice as needed to cover well in the

marinade.

 

Combine the breading mixture and dredge the tofu slices, coating them well.

Lightly oil and preheat a griddle over high heat. Place the tofu slices on the

griddle and blacken the first side, then turn slices over, reduce heat to

medium, and allow the second side to blacken thoroughly.
