Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 pound firm tofu

3 garlic cloves -- peeled

1 1-inch piece fresh galangal (or peeled fresh ginger)

1 lemongrass stalk

1/4 cup apple juice or apple cider

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1/4 cup shoyu

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup canola oil

4 Thai chiles, or 2 serrano chiles -- stems removed and

cut in half lengthwise

1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh ciilantro

 

Place the tofu on a pie plate and top with a second plate. Weight the plate

with a heavy can or two and press for at least 30 minutes. By hand, or in a

food processor, finely chop the garlic, galangal, and lemongrass. Set aside.

 

To make the marinade, in a medium bowl whisk together the apple juice, maple

syrup, shoyu, lemon juice, and oil uuntil thoroughly blended. Add the chopped

lemongrass mixture.

 

Place the tofu cake on its side and cut into 3 thin slabs. Cut the slabs

diagonally into triangles, the triangles in half to make smaller triangle.

Place the tofu pieces in an 8 x 8-inch baking dish in a single layer, fitting

the pieces together like a mosaic. Pour the marinade over the tofu, add the

chiles, and sprinkle with the cilantro. Marinate for at least 30 minutes

turning once.

 

Preheat the oven to 350F.

 

Pour off about 1/2 cup of the marinade; it should reach about halfway up the

sides of the tofu. Bake the tofu for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the tofu is

golden brown and most of the marinade has been absorbed.

 

Description:

" Thai chiles and lemongrass lift these golden triangles out of the

ordinary and into the unexpected. "
