Tofu

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 pound tofu, extra firm

olive oil

salt & pepper to taste

 

Wrap tofu in clean, white paper towels (or a clean cloth dishtowel), and

let sit for about 15 minutes. You may also weight it down by placing a

plate or cutting board over it and then putting a bag of flour or

something heavy on top, but you don't have to do this.

 

Slice the tofu into cubes or little slices. I often cut it into thirds

lengthwise, and then slice.

 

TO BAKE: Lightly oil a glass baking dish. Place the tofu in the

baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper. You can also

sprinkle with other seasonings such as garlic power, onion powder, or

whatever you like. Bake at 350 - 400 (depending on what else you might

be baking at the same time) for about 10 - 15 minutes, then check. You

may need to turn and bake a little longer.

 

TO FRY: Lightly oil a nonstick frying pan. Place the tofu slices in

the pan and sprinkle with salt & pepper and any other seasonings

desired. Lightly brown on both sides.

NOTES : This is a recipe for my son who loves tofu, but hates just about

everything made with tofu! :-) He likes just plain tofu. Whenever

I make a tofu dish for the rest of us, I just cook a pound of tofu for

him, plain. He's only 10, but he almost always eats the whole pound in

one sitting. :-)
