Other Ingredients

• 2 blocks of extra firm tofu

Instructions:

Press tofu for a min 30 minutes to remove moisture.  Cut into slabs 1/2″ thick.

Combine marinade ingredients into a ziploc bag (or one can use a bowl).  Pour over tofu.  Marinade for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Mix the dredge ingredients in a large bowl.  Remove tofu from marinade and shake off excess moisture.  Dredge each piece, taking care to stick the crust onto the tofu.

Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet to medium hot. Add tofu to skillet using tongs and turning as each side gets golden brown.   Remove and place on paper towels.
