Herbed Marinated Tofu

[Guest guest]

Marinated Tofu from CabbageTown Cafe Cookbook

 

It's not really marinated, and she admits that in the recipe intro. You

can really change the seasonings on this. Even my meat-eating daughter

gobbles this down. I use a cast iron skillet to impart the iron into

the tofu. The resulting cubes can be used in salads, stir-fries, or

just plain. A container of these cubes in my kids' lunch makes them

very happy. :-)

 

2 Tblsp light vegetable oil

1 lb tofu, cut into bite-sized cups (2 cups) - I use firm tofu

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp dried dill weed or 2 Tblsp freshly chopped dill

pinch cayenne

1 tsp dark sesame oil

2 tsp tamari or soy sauce

 

1. In a medium-size frying pan, heat the oil. Add the tofu cubes and

fry for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently so nothing sticks.

2. Add the garlic, black pepper, dill, and cayenne. Continue frying and

stirring until the cubes are lightly browned and crisp, about 5 minutes

more.

3. Add the dark sesame oil and soy sauce, stir in and turn off the heat.

4. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

Great! I am going to put this over some spinach noodles tonight for dinner with

some carrots and melon for desert.

I was wondering what to fix now I know. It is perfect.

Sounds good although the dill put me off. We had a dish with dill in it that

was so overpowering, it turned us off dill for the time being. I'm sure I can

substitute with other herbs though!
