Marinated Tofu For Meat-Eaters Who Hate Tofu

1. 1

   Place the tofu (still in its packaging) into the freezer for at least 24 hours. Keeping it in there longer doesn't hurt it.

2. 2

   Remove the tofu from the freezer and defrost by bringing a pot of water to a boil and placing the frozen block of tofu (still in its packaging) in the pot for 10 minutes or until defrosted.

3. 3

   Remove the tofu from the packaging (finally!) and cut the block laterally in half so you have two block-sized slabs that are half the width.

4. 4

   Slice each slab lengthwise into three and place on a clean dish towel or paper towels. Cover the six pieces with another dish towel and place a cutting board or baking tray or other flat object on top. Place heavy cans or books onto the board and let sit for 15-30 minutes.

5. 5

   Cut the tofu lengths into cubes and place into marinade for a minimum of 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove from the marinade and dust the tofu cubes with flour.

7. 7

   Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

8. 8

   Shallow fry the cubes until all sides are golden brown and crispy.

9. 9

   Serve hot with rice or couscous and a puddle of the marinade as a dipping sauce.
