Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Go to the Asian market and get a packet of bean curd. They have many brands. It's very firm, some of the blocks have been quickly deep fried. What I do is drain and I caramelize the diced blocks in a mixture of teriyaki marinade and soy sauce on a slow simmer. The teriyaki has enough sugar to thicken as it browns. Try to find a thick teriyaki marinade or make your own. When done add to your finished stir fry. Spoon over steamed rice, etc. I like it tossed with steamed veggies.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 thanks, I will try that. And it sounds much healthier than trying to brown it in oil.
