The working woman's marinated tofu

[stgulik]

Tonight I get to show you how I usually marinate tofu ahead of cooking stir-fry. Most chefs on TV, you know, use Limoges bowls and cut-glass eyedroppers when they marinate tofu. Now for something completely different.




Before you leave for work, cut open a container of extra-firm tofu. Drain the liquid. Using a butter knife, slice the tofu into 1/2" pieces.

Pour about 3 tablespoons of soy sauce over the top, followed by about 2 tablespoons of the oil of your choice. Sesame oil is delicious. Flax seed oil has omega-3.

Add other stuff like ground ginger or minced garlic if you like.

Slide the container into a produce bag from the grocery store. Tie closed, carefully set in the refrigerator. Let it sit all day and think on its sins.

Here's what you get come dinner time:



Ready for anything!

I'm not much for tofu, but I so much prefer re-using things or re-purposing other things like plastic produce bags and twist-ties. Yes, I am one of those older women who keep a bag of produce bags and save twist-ties and grocery bags. But I also never have to buy baggies or trash bags. I prefer to get a few good uses out of packaging before I send it to the landfill.

I love tofu in principle, but I've yet to cook it into anything remotely edible. Your post has inspired me to try again!

I made your white bean with sage soup tonight, and it was yummy! AND I got to trim back a bit of my sage plant in the process; he was crowding Rosemary, and she does not like that at all, even though in previous years it was she who crowded him.
