Crispy tofu

 Everyone should be buying firm tofu and putting it in the freezer.  When you defrost it, more water comes out making for firmer tofu!  Now you know.

We made this for our Asian inspired NYE dinner.  It was the first round of many things and it was excellent.  We just ate it with chopsticks because our other dishes already had rice with it.  

1 lbs firm tofu, pressed between some paper towel for an hour

2 tbs cornstarch 

salt and pepper

Sauce-

4 tbs soy sauce 

2 tbs balsamic vinegar

1 tbs agave or honey

as much hot sauce as you would like

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp ginger powder or fresh minced if you have it

2 tsp corn starch

1/8 cup or 30 ml water

Tear the tofu into small pieces and toss with the cornstarch and salt and pepper

Shallow fry pieces until crispy or bake at 360 for 20 minutes

Mix up the sauce ingredients and then add to a hot pan and mix until slightly thickened

Add your tofu and stir to coat

Serve with sliced green onion and sesame seeds
