I usually skip both those steps because speed matters more to me than looks in food, but it's still good to know and pass on.j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05488121165040555447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-8061325198971820152010-03-17T16:04:01.558-04:002010-03-17T16:04:01.558-04:00I'm sure YOU already know this but others may ...I'm sure YOU already know this but others may not - some helpful tips on cooking tofu. <br /><br />Helpful tip number 1: After you drain the water, place a dish towel on a plate & then set the tofu on top. Wrap the towel on to the top of the tofu and then stack another plate on top. Your tofu should be surrounded by a towel and then sandwiched between two plates. Set something heavy on the top plate. I use a small planter that is in my kitchen! (You can use canned veggies if you have those.) The weight pushes the absorbed water out of the tofu. I prep the tofu this way for about a 1/2 hour. <br /><br />Helpful tip number 2: Bake the tofu at 350 degrees for about 30-45 minutes PRIOR to stir-frying it in the wok. Baking firms the tofu up, which helps to prevent it from falling apart when I stir fry it. I usually coat the tofu in seasoning before I stick it in the oven. <br /><br />Just some ideas!!GracePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06649216918789246092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148735542162027173.post-10221879120425682462010-03-13T02:17:20.163-05:002010-03-13T02:17:20.163-05:00Thanks for the tofu info.
