Seared Asian Tofu
Based on recipe from http://tonytantillo.com.
4 Servings Preparation Time: 1 Hour
- 1 pound firm tofu
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon rice wine (mirin)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Thai chili-garlic paste
1. Place the tofu on a paper towel on a plate. Set another plate over the tofu and top with heavy object to remove excess moisture, for about 30 minutes. Slice the tofu lengthwise in 4 equal slices. Place in a shallow Pyrex dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the remaining ingredients. Pour over the tofu. Marinate the tofu for 15 minutes, turning several times to coat.
3. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, sear the tofu slices for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until browned.
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of
absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.
Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness
within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more.
Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and
doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone
of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
-- Shirley Jackson, "The Haunting of Hill House"
