Sesame Crusted Tofu

After a long hiatus, we're back! I'm going to be honest, a lot of the reason we stopped doing the blog was due to the difficulty in coming up with clever things to say. Also, worry about getting good image of the food. So for the next little while at least, these posts are going to be recipes and little else. First up, a dish we've been eating quite a lot of, Sesame Crusted Tofu. Eat this in a salad or with stir fry; use the left over marinade to make your dressing or stir fry sauce.

Marinade:
2 T soy sauce (or Tamari soy sauce)
2 T sesame oil (love this stuff)
1 T rice vinegar
1 t chili garlic sauce
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 inch cube ginger, grated

1 block firm or extra firm tofu, drained (see our Marinated Baked Tofu recipe for how to drain properly)

Cut tofu crossways to make 2 slabs; cut each into 6.  put tofu and marinade in shallow pan or dish. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, turning tofu once.


2 T sesame seeds
3 T flour


Mix on a dish. Dredge each piece of tofu. Fry in a pan of 1 T sesame oil and 1 T canola (or whatever) oil on highest setting for ~5 minutes on a side. Will get golden brown. A little black isn't bad.
