Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 OMG Katie this is so good we just finished eating diner and everyone loves it This was the first time I ate tofu and I love it I couldn't find Raspberry Wine I am not much of a wine drinker so I am not real familiar with it but I bought Arbor Mist Exotic Fruits White Zinfandel and it tastes fine I also doubled the sauce recipe because I made brown rice to go with the tofu and that made enough to drizzle over the rice thanks so much for the great recipe ---- Katie 01/26/10 16:38:43 Re: **RECIPE** , Sesame tofu for Samantha OK, The recipe is long, but it is easy and once the tofu is prepped, it only takes a few minutes. I serve it with jasmine rice if I have it and basmatti if I don't. A simple green salad with ginger dressing and some french bread makes it a really special meal. I think I will make it for my sweety for valentines day! I think I may have posted it before, but I am not sure. I hope you enjoy it. Sesame Tofu Ingredients 2 packages of extra firm tofu, frozen and then thawed with all the excess moisture squeezed out. 2 tablespoons raw sesame seeds 2 green onions, thinly sliced Marinade 1 teaspoon vegetable broth 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil growne white pepper to taste 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1 tablespoon raspberry wine or any fruity red wine Batter 1/2 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 egg, beaten 1/2 cup water (or as much as you need to make a smooth batter) 3 tablespoons cornstarch salt to taste 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Sauce 3 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons sugar salt to taste 2 tablespoons ketchup 1 tablespoon white or red wine vinegar a sprinkle of ground black pepper. Step 1 Mix all the marinade ingredients in a blass bowl and mix well. Cut tofu into 1 inch chunks and add to marinade. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Step 2 Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350*. or in a wok on the stove to 325*. While the tofu is marinading, in a seperate bowl, combine all of the batter ingredients and mix thoroughly. Batter should be thick enough to coat the pieces, but thin enough to flow around them. Step 3 Using a fork or tongs, remove the pieces of tofu from the marinade and dip, one by one, into the batter. Deep fry in batches of about 12 pieces for about 10 minutes until until grolder brown. Drain on paper towels. Step 4 In your wok or a sauce pan, combine sause ingredients and warm over medium heat. Bring to a boil while stirring and simmer until sauce thickens. Add the tofu chunks to the hot sauce and stir very gently to coat the pieces. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the sliced scallions and the sesame seeds. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 You know what? I was looking for a good recipe to make into " hot wings. " I love hot wings and miss them so much since turning vegetarian. I'll bet that I could make this recipe but substitute hot wing sauce for this sauce and it would be GREAT.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I am so glad you liked it. The first time I made it I did not have any wine either, I used raspberry pomegranate juice and it was fine. It just needs the fruity taste and the wine gives it that and a little boost besides, I am glad the zimfandel works.
