I've been wanting to try some new things with tofu since it's been too cold to go to Whole Foods and buy the cajun style tofu off the hot bar, so I did some research and found a few new recipies.
Well, my tofu stir-fry may not have been an original dish, but it was AMAZING. I have never been able to get tofu to be so chicken like in texture and still have lots of flavor, but boy was it a process.
It all started with Extra Firm Organic Tofu that I drained and lightly squeezed. I then sliced into 6 pieces, put it in a dish towel, put some weight on it and waited a few hours. After that I sauteed it in some coconut butter until it looked brown on most sides. I sauteed some frozen veggies and a mixture of fresh ones that I had in the fridge on a really hot pan with no oil while I tossed the cooked tofu in a marinade/sauce of sorts consisting of: Srirach, Soy Sauce, a touch of Teriyaki, red pepper flakes, and a drip or two of Agave. Then I tossed the said marinaded tofu into the pan with the rest of the sauce. I didn't even serve it over brown rice or noodles, just veggie and tofu.
So now to the point, you know you've made a good dinner when it gets eaten in its' entirety before you can even photograph it. The only evidence I have is the picture below which just shows a picture of what I rigged to get as much moisture as possible out of the tofu.
