Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 pound firm tofu

2 large garlic cloves -- chopped

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup orange juice

2 tablespoons roasted peanut oil

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

3 tablespoons peanut oil for cooking

 

Drain the tofu, cut it into shapes and sizes you like, set on a paper towel and

blot it well. While the tofu is draining, combine the next five ingredients in a

small bowl. Heat a large non-stick pan or electric skillet to 350 degrees and

coat with the oil. When the oil is hot, add the tofu and cook without moving it

until it is crisp and golden, about 5 minutes or until the tofu releases from

the pan easily. Turn and cook on the other side, adding more oil if necessary.

Pour in the marinade and stir to coat the tofu. Reduce the heat to medium and

cook until the sauce is thickened and the tofu is glazed. Don't let it cook so

long that it gets sticky. Add the cilantro just before removing tofu from the

skillet. Serves 4 to 5. Options: Serve with noodles; garnish with sesame seed.

NOTES : Demo: Lacina tells Ivanhoe, " What I'm making today is glazed tofu. "

Start by slicing tofu into small chunks. Next, place the pieces in hot peanut

oil. She says the chunks will immediately stick, but that's ok. " I'm going to

come back in about five minutes and by that time it will have released, and I'll

be able to just flip it right over, " says Lacina. While you wait, prepare the

glaze. Lacina says, " The glaze is soy sauce, maple syrup and orange juice. " Pour

it in, and swish it around. She says, " This dish has turned many a skeptic into

a tofu lover. " --http://www.ivanhoe.com/channels/p_channelstory.cfm?storyid=3209
