Tofu Marinade

I decided to do the 3 tricks to getting tofu to taste good.

1- squeeze water out with a heavy object for 10 minutes

2- marinade for at least 2 hours.

3- coat in corn flour and fry.

and guess what? It worked! (Though i think an even firmer tofu, or more squeezing would help.

I marinaded it without oil to let the flavours soak better- it would have oil in the frying process anyway.

I used:

GF Worcestershire sauce
Sweet chili sauce
Splash of Balsamic Vinegar
1 t honey
sesame seeds
1/4t garlic paste

combine all ingredients in a small container. Give it a good gentle shake, chuck it in the fridge.

i marinaded it for about 2 hours, that was enough.

once done, drain, coat in corn starch and fry on medium high, on a bed of sunflower and sesame oil. About 5 minutes each side. Depending on how thick the cut was. I did it about 1cm thick, and in cubes too.

Crunchy outside, smooth inside, more squeezing i assume would have made it more chewy (apparently freezing can do this too)

I'll definitely try it again.

I had it on a bed of "Crusty bread" with lettuce, sun-dried tomatoes and avocado. Yum yum!
