THE BEST CRISPY TOFU
The key to getting tofu nice and crispy is to first remove excess moisture. We wrap the block of tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy pan on top of it to press out as much water as possible. When searing the tofu, resist the urge to move it around. Instead, allow it to form a crust before flipping, and then again let it cook undisturbed on the other side until browned.

Steps:
- Wrap the tofu in a clean dish towel and place on top of a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Place a heavy pan on top of the tofu and let it sit for 5 minutes to release as much moisture as possible. Unwrap the tofu and slice lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick by 1 1/2-inch-wide planks.
- Whisk the soy sauce, lime juice, agave syrup, scallion whites and sriracha together in a small bowl and set aside. Mix the panko, sesame seeds, cornstarch, garlic salt, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a pie dish or shallow bowl. Press the tofu planks into the panko mixture to coat on all sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the tofu with a metal spatula and continue cooking undisturbed until a deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the soy-sauce mixture to the pan. Cook until bubbling and slightly thicker, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the tofu planks and sprinkle with the scallion greens.
BRAISED LEEK SALAD
Created by Chef Aaron Bashy for "Chef on a Shoestring." The CBS Saturday Early Show challenge was to create a gourmet 3 course meal for 4 people for less than $20. I love leeks, but often find them overpowered in dishes where they aren't the main attraction. This recipe really showcases the leeks in all their subtle glory by caramelizing them and then adding just a few ingredients to complement the leek itself. In fact, the recipe features 3 of my favorite ingredients: leeks, feta cheese and Kalamata olives. Can't go wrong with that combination. To prepare leeks, trim off the tough dark green bits and the roots. Cut in half lengthwise then swish in a bowl of clean water to remove the sand and sediment that gets trapped between the rings of the leek. The wine is optional, but recommended.

Steps:
- Thoroughly dry the leeks.
- Warm the olive oil in a saute pan set over moderate heat. Add the leeks to the pan, flat side down. Caramelize the leeks, paying careful attention to avoid burning them, about 4 minutes. Remove the leeks from the pan using tongs or a slotted spoon.
- If using wine, deglaze the pan with it and cook until the wine is reduced by half, a few seconds. Add the vinegar and reduce by one third, another few seconds. Add the stock and reduce by half, again, just a few seconds.
- Place one leek half on each of four salad plates. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle equal portions of the sauce over the leeks, sprinkle with crumbled cheese and garnish with the olives.

ASIAN CRISPY TOFU SALAD
Made this for my BF yesterday and he rated it 6 stars. The ingredients and instructions came from the chef at The Market at Newport, a popular cafeteria near where I work that serves excellent food. I supplied the amounts. Do not make this with silken tofu as it will just fall apart. Buy the type of tofu that's packed in water instead. Good as a meat substitute, or snack, or serve it on top of a bed of greens with a bit of rice vinegar or dressing of your choice. It's also really good with balsamic vinegar. *NOTE* - Use a non-stick frying pan, and don't peek at it otherwise it won't get crispy.

Steps:
- Whisk all ingredients except for tofu in a 9x9 inch square baking dish.
- Drain and slice tofu in half lengthwise to make two thinner slabs. Blot with a paper towel.
- Preheat non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick spray. Slide tofu slices onto skillet and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, flipping carefully with a large spatula. Brown it nicely to give it color and texture.
- Slip tofu slices into marinade, and turn with spatula at least once. While the tofu is sitting in the marinade, cut each slab 3 times lengthwise and widthwise with a sharp knife to make 16 squares per slab. Toss carefully.
- Let marinate for up to 30 minutes and remove garlic and ginger slices before serving warm, at room temperature or chilled.
CRISP LEEK SALAD
This recipe originates in Wales. From Classic International Recipes. Use only the white and light green portions of the leeks.....I couldn't include that in the ingredients for some reason. Prep and cook time does not include the one hour chilling time.

CRISP TOFU & LEEK SALAD
This dish not only looks good, it does you good too. The discovery of Tofu was in China, the story is that a Chinese chef accidently curdled Soya milk when he added Nigari Seaweed - creating Tofu! How lucky for us, a protein that contains all the eight essential amino acids and Iron, Calcium, vitamin B1 to name just a few of it's nutrients. Healthy eating!
