THE BEST PAN-FRIED TOFU
I have had MANY people ask me how I pan fry my tofu and get it so crispy and firm. There are a few reasons why:-). First I either use a non-stick or cast iron pan, I don't overcrowd the surface, I drain my tofu REALLY well, use only extra firm Chinese style and MOST important of all, I leave it undisturbed while cooking and this allows the golden crust we all love on pan-fried tofu to develop! Please find detailed instructions below on how to make the best pan-fried tofu ever!

Steps:
- Take your block of tofu and wrap it in several layers of paper towels.
- Gently press the tofu with your hands or against the counter top to release the liquid. This will take about a minute.
- Slice the tofu into pieces about 1/2 an inch thick.
- Set tofu aside.
- If you are using a non-stick pan heat it slightly on medium-high heat (about 30 seconds) before adding oil.
- If you are using a cast iron pan, please heat for about 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutes on medium-high heat. Cast iron is very thick and you want the pan to be heated evenly before adding the tofu.
- Add oil to heated pan.
- Gently spread oil over the entire surface of the pan.
- Set the tofu pieces in the pan, leaving ample room between them. They should sizzle when placed in the oil. Sprinkle the tops with salt and a little cayenne pepper.
- Now, the MOST IMPORTANT step is -- LEAVE THEM ALONE for about 6 or 7 minutes. Just gently shake them to make sure they don't stick to the pan. Do NOT turn them or agitate them in any other way. When you see a golden crust beginning to creep its way up the sides of the slices, turn them and spice the other side. Add more oil if the pan seems too dry.
- The second side will only take about 4 minutes to cook.
- When they are evenly browned take them out of the pan and place them on paper towels to drain.
- These are very simply seasoned and basic and can now be used any way you like. I like these with steamed broccoli and peanut sauce -- or in a sandwich with grilled peppers and mushrooms and aioli -- or just eaten with ketchup:-).

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Cut the tofu into cubes and put it in a bowl. Add two tablespoons of corn starch.
- Make sure all cubes are covered in corn starch.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the tofu cubes on top.
- Bake for 25 minutes, tossing halfway.
- Cut the broccoli into florets and cook or steam it. I like mine still a bit crunchy and not too soft.
- Make the sauce: Place all of the ingredients into a sauce pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on medium heat until the sauce becomes thick and sticky.
- Add the baked tofu cubes and stir well. Serve over brown rice and add the broccoli as a side. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and freshly chopped green onion. Enjoy!

AIR FRYER TOFU
Steps:
- Cut the tofu into cubes.
- Make the tofu marinade. In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients for the marinade and stir well.
- Add the tofu cubes and stir well.
- If you've got enough time, let the tofu marinade for about 10-20 minutes for a deeper flavor. If you're short on time, just let it marinade for a minute and then move on to the next step.
- Set your air fryer to 350 °F and air fry the tofu for 12-15 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally to promote even cooking.
- Serve the air fryed tofu immediately with vegan mayonnaise or aioli or with a salad.

TOFU AIOLI
A delicious and healthy version of aioli that uses neither mayo, eggs, or oil! I like strong flavors, so halve the seasonings if you like things more bland.
