panfried tofu

02Feb09

One block of extra-firm tofu

Mix the following to create a marinade:
1/4cup tamari
1/4cup sesame oil
1/8cup brown rice vinegar
1/8cup lemon juice
2T maple syrup
1/2inch minced ginger
2 cloves choped garlic

Cut the tofu into 1in. cubes.
Boil for 20 minutes and drain. Boiling gives the tofu a firmer texture and can be done in advance.
Marinate for at least 2 hours, being sure that all of the tofu is exposed to the marinade.
Heat a fry pan over high heat and add in approximately 2T olive oil. Drain the marinade from the tofu, and add the tofu blocks to the fry pan. Flip occasionally to keep from sticking or burning. Cook until the tofu is crisp and browned on the outside.
