Quick.

So, we're getting way into tofu lately. We had a hard time making crispy tofu for stuff though. However, this produces deliciously crispy tofu. Enjoy!

1 package Firm (or extra firm) Tofu
2-4 TBSP Vegetable Oil
1 cup cornstarch
Marinade of some sort (recipe for mine we used is below)

Remove tofu from package, drain water. Place on a plate with a towel and cloth napkin under it. Wrap the napkin over the top of the tofu. Put another plate on top and put something reasonably heavy on it (like a can of something, or a jar of honey-which is what I used). Leave it there for 10-15 minutes to drain the water out of the tofu. Do not push on it though-you'll squish it.

Get your marinade ready. I used a combination of powdered wasabi, crushed red pepper, garlic, white vinegar, water and some lemon. Mix them all in a bowl until it looks good and set aside.

Put the oil in a big pan, heat on medium.

After the tofu has drained, cut the block in half and then slice it into thin (1/4" slices). Then, marinade them in your delicious mixture. While they sit in the marinade for a minute or two, get the corn starch in a bowl. Dredge the tofu in the cornstarch and then put into hot oil. Let it cook for a couple of minutes on one side and then flip it over.

It will be good. You'll like it.

I hope you're having a nice week. Does Jodi read these?

Love,
