SWEET AND SPICY TOFU WITH SOBA NOODLES
If you don't cook tofu often (or even if you do), this unfussy tofu dish is for you: There's no flour-dredging or shallow-frying, and no marinating at all. As long as you pat the tofu dry (a bit fussy, but not by much), the vegetable oil's high smoke point will yield crisp edges, while the sesame oil imparts flavor, putting you well on your way to making tofu taste great. What's more, a ginger-and-garlic-laced soy sauce coats noodles and tofu alike, giving you chopstick after chopstick of toothsome pleasure. Serve these warm or cold, and be generous with the cool, crispy vegetables on top, especially for summer picnics where you can stretch this to serve 6 or even 8 as a side.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu in a colander, or dry on paper-towel lined plate while you prep the remaining ingredients, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil for the soba noodles.
- Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil. When the oil shimmers, add the tofu in a single layer, in batches if needed and cook until golden on all sides, turning as needed when the tofu releases easily from the pan, about 8 to 10 minutes total. Lift the tofu out of the pan with a spatula and transfer to a new paper-towel-lined plate.
- Meanwhile, cook the soba in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes (or according to package directions), until just al dente, stirring frequently. Drain and rinse in cold water until the noodles no longer feel sticky.
- Add garlic, ginger and whites of the onions to the skillet, along with the remaining tablespoon sesame oil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the oil is fragrant, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
- Add cooked and drained soba noodles to the pan, along with soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, red pepper and reserved green onions; toss together until the noodles are coated. Gently toss in the tofu until all the pieces are covered in the sauce.
- Remove from the heat, and sprinkle cucumber, radish and cilantro on top. Serve warm or at room temperature, with lime.

CRISPY TOFU WITH MAPLE-SOY GLAZE
Whenever you're cooking tofu, here's one of our no-fail techniques: Draining the tofu, then squeezing out as much water as possible (without smashing it), is the key to the crispiest cubes.

Steps:
- Drain tofu, then sandwich between several layers of kitchen towels to remove excess liquid. Cut into 9 cubes.
- Whisk soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ginger in a small bowl.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. When oil is rippling across the surface, carefully add tofu so it doesn't splash. Cook, undisturbed, until very crisp and dark brown underneath, 3-4 minutes. Carefully turn and repeat on opposite side. Holding tofu back with a spatula or slotted spoon, pour out oil into a small bowl. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add soy sauce mixture. Cook, reducing heat to medium so it doesn't over-reduce or burn and basting tofu occasionally, until glaze is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 4 minutes.
- Divide tofu among plates. Drizzle with glaze, then top with scallions. Serve with rice alongside.
CRISPY BAKED TOFU
From the Daily Herald. Joe Yonan is a food writer whose recipes I really like. I have not made this one yet, but am willing to bet it is good. Yonan says the freezing creates a much more satisfying texture to the tofu, and it also absorbs more of the marinade. The baked tofu can be eaten right away with veggie sides, or it can be cooled and used in salads, stir-fries or other dishes. Freezing time for the tofu is not included in the prep time.

Steps:
- Leave the tofu in its packaging and freeze for at least 24 hours and up to 1 week. Transfer to the refrigerator and allow to defrost for one day. Once it has defrosted, remove it from the package and drain, then wrap in it paper towels, hold it over the sink and press with your hands to remove much of the liquid.
- Preheat oven to 350 deg.
- Cut the tofu into 1 inch cubes.
- Press or finely mince the garlic, mix together with all other ingredients in a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Add the tofu cubes and gently toss to combine with the marinade.
- Bake for 45 minutes, turning the tofu three or four times, until the tofu is browned and most of the marinade is absorbed or evaporated.
- Serve immediately or cool and refrigerate for up to a week in an airtight container.
CRISPY ASIAN-GLAZED TOFU (5 INGREDIENTS)
Steps:
- Slice tofu width-wise into 6 slabs. Use a kitchen towel to gently press each slice to remove excess liquid; cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Combine hoisin, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and vinegar in a small bowl; stir with a whisk.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add tofu and cook, untouched, for 3 minutes, until bottom of cubes are golden-brown. Toss and cook 5 extra minutes, tossing occasionally, to brown all sides. Add Asian glaze and cook 2 more minutes, stirring often, until tofu absorbs glaze and becomes caramelized. Remove from heat and serve.
CRISPY LOW-FAT TOFU
This is more a technique than a recipe, but I've found it a GREAT way to get the texture & taste of the kind of fried/gilled tofu that works well on sandwiches, in Vietnamese and noodle dishes, etc. I'll post several of my favorite soaks/braises for this at some point.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu and slice it into three fillet-sized slices, long-ways.
- Now press these briefly, even just by hand. You want to get the overabundance of water out, but not all of it.
- Place the fillets in a bag, preferably not touching one another, but this isn't essential.
- Freeze until thoroughly frozen through. This usually takes overnight or all day.
- Take out a slice when you want to use it, and microwave it for 1-2 minutes. Drain the water, cut it into cubes or leave it as a fillet, and microwave it for another 1-2 minutes.
- Heat1 tsp oil per fillet or so, some (2-3 tbs) water, l and, if you like, some aromatics in a non stick skillet or wok.
- Add the hot tofu, toss to be sure the small amount of oil coats a bit, then cook.
- Press down on the tofu each time you flip the cubes with your spatula, releasing a little of the water or marinate each time.
- The tofu will get quite golden and crisp as a result of having some water left in it and microwaving. It's really cool, just try a few times to get the hang of the pressiing part.
- Add braising liquids or flavorings as desired.

Steps:
- Prep work: Position your oven racks in the lower third and upper third of the oven.Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup (and to prevent the tofu from sticking). Bring a large pot of water to boil for the rice. Rinse the rice in a fine mesh colander under running water and set aside.
- Drain the tofu and use your palms to gently squeeze out some of the water. Slice the tofu into thirds lengthwise so you have 3 even slabs. Stack the slabs on top of each other and slice through them lengthwise to make 3 even columns, then slice across to make 5 even rows (see photos).
- Line a cutting board with an absorbent lint-free tea towel or paper towels, then arrange the tofu in an even layer on the towel(s). Fold the towel(s) over the cubed tofu, then place something heavy on top (like another cutting board, topped with a cast iron pan or large cans of tomatoes) to help the tofu drain. Let the tofu rest for at least 10 minutes while you prep the Brussels sprouts.
- Trim the nubby ends and any discolored leaves off the Brussels sprouts, then cut the sprouts in halves lengthwise. Toss the sprouts with a light, even layer of olive oil. On a large baking sheet, arrange the sprouts in an even layer, flat sides down, and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Transfer the pressed tofu to one of your prepared baking sheets and drizzle with the olive oil and tamari. Toss to combine. Sprinkle the arrowroot starch over the tofu, and toss the tofu until the starch is evenly coated, so there are no powdery spots remaining. Arrange the tofu in an even layer across the pan.
- To cook the rice: Once the water is boiling, add the rice. Let the rice boil for 30 minutes, then remove from heat and drain the rice. Transfer the drained rice back to the cooking pot and cover for 5 minutes. Remove lid, add a dash of sea salt and use a fork to fluff the rice. Set aside, partially covered, until you're ready to serve.
- To bake the sprouts and tofu: Transfer the pan of Brussels sprouts to the lower oven rack, and the pan of tofu to the top rack. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing the contents of each pan halfway through cooking, until the sprouts and tofu are deeply golden on the edges.
- To make the glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together the glaze ingredients (start with 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce or sriracha and add more to taste). Bring the glaze to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring often and reducing heat as necessary. Simmer until the glaze is reduced by about half (about 5 to 10 minutes; it's about done when it starts bubbling up substantially). Remove the glaze from the heat and set aside.
- To assemble: Divide the rice onto four plates. Top each plate with sprouts and tofu and drizzle with glaze. Finish each plate with a very generous sprinkling of sesame seeds and a small handful of chopped cilantro.

CRISPY TOFU WITH SWEET & TANGY GLAZE
This is another way to eat tofu. I just experimented one day and came out pretty good. Very easy to prepare and quick to make. I serve with hot rice. This makes very good vegetarian dish also. I usually eyeball the amount on each ingredients. Easy to increase or decrease depends on your tastes. Make sure you get a firm tofu. Soft tofu won't work well.

Steps:
- Slice the tofu into desired size, about 3/8" thick.
- Heat canola oil in the non stick skillet over medium heat and fry the tofu slices for 2-3 minutes on each sides until they get golden brown. They should be crispy on the outside but soft inside.
- Meanwhile, in a small ball combine soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, mustard, vinegar, chilly sauce, chilly powder, garlic, sesame seeds and set a side.
- When tofu slices are fried, transfer them on to another plate, keep the skillet on the medium heat.
- Add the soy sauce mixture into the hot skillet and let them bubble and thicken for about 1-2 minutes.
- Return the fried tofu slices back into the skillet with sauce and tossed them well. Transfer them on the serving plates and sprinkle chopped green onion on top. Serve warm and enjoy.
- Notes: I usually blot the tofu slices with paper towel to avoid oil splash when I add to the hot skillet and it also helps to create crispiness.

- Prep your tofu by cutting it into bite sized chunks. I do this by cutting it into 2 different slabs (hamburger style) and then slices each of those into ~2/3 of an inch fingers and then into cubes. Place the tofu on a plate lined with paper towels and leave for roughly 15 minutes to drain a bit.
- While waiting, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium low heat, whisk together 2 teaspoons of the cornstarch as well as the water, vinegar, sugar, and chili-garlic sauce. Bring that mixture to a light simmer and, continuing to whisk constantly, cook for about 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, while you finish the tofu.
- In a wide bowl, stir together the remaining cornstarch, salt, pepper, and the cornmeal. Pat the tofu dry and then toss in the cornmeal mixture to coat all of the sides. I did this in several batches.
- In 12 inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat over hot. Fry the tofu, tossing occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until it is lightly browned on all sides. Once done, remove to a paper towel lined plate.
