Print Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1-2 tbsp oil .
  • 1 c marinade (I like a spicy peanut satay sauce) .
  • 1 (14 oz) package extra firm tofu .
  • 1/2 c flour (to dust)

Directions
  • Step #1 Place the tofu (still in its packaging) into the freezer for at least 24 hrs.
  • Step #2 Keeping it in there longer doesn't hurt it.
  • Step #3 Remove the tofu from the freezer & defrost by bringing a pot of water to a boil & placing the frozen block of tofu (still in its packaging) in the pot for 10 mins or until defrosted.
  • Step #4 Remove the tofu from the packaging (finally!) & cut the block laterally in half so you have two block-sized slabs that are half the width.
  • Step #5 Slice each slab lengthwise into three & place on a clean dish towel or paper towels.
  • Step #6 Cover up the six pieces with another dish towel & place a cutting board or baking tray or other flat object on top.
  • Step #7 Place heavy cans or books onto the board & let sit for 15-30 mins.
  • Step #8 Cut the tofu lengths into cubes & place this into marinade for a minimum of 30 mins.
  • Step #9 Remove from the marinade & dust the tofu cubes with flour.
  • Step #10 Heat the oil in a frying pan over med-heat/flame.
  • Step #11 Shallow fry the cubes until all sides are golden brown & crispy.
  • Step #12 Serve hot with rice or couscous & a puddle of the marinade as a dipping sauce.
