Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 carton firm or extra-firm tofu

2 large garlic cloves -- coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh lime or lemon juice

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon molasses

2 teaspoons roasted peanut or dark sesame oil

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

 

Drain the tofu, cut it into the shapes and sizes you desire, and set on paper

toweling to drain. Blot well.

 

While the tofu is draining, combine the next 6 ingredients in a small bowl.

Season with a few pinches of salt and plenty of pepper.

 

Heat a large cast-iron skillet or nonstick pan and film with a tablespoon of

oil. When hot, add the tofu and cook over medium-high heat, without disturbing,

until crisp and golden, about 7 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side,

adding more oil if necessary.

 

Pour in the marinade and shuffle the pan back and forth to coat the tofu.

Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the sauce is syrupy and the tofu is

glazed. Don't let it cook so long that it gets sticky. Serves 3 to 4
