FRIED TOFU

2 blocks tofu
3/4 c. tapioca starch
Oil for deep-frying
Salt to taste
Hoisin sauce
Coriander or chopped green onions for garnish

Cut tofu into blocks 1 x 1 x 2 inches. Dredge each piece into tapioca starch until all surfaces are covered thoroughly. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Deep-fry 3 to 4 minutes at high heat until each piece is about 3/4 done. Remove and drain on a rack or paper toweling.

Slit each piece lengthwise and put Hoisin sauce into each slit to taste. Garnish with coriander or green onions and serve.

Answer 6

tofu
marinade
oil

Cut the tofu lengths into cubes and place into marinade for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Remove from the marinade and dust the tofu cubes with flour.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Shallow fry the cubes until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
Serve hot with rice or couscous and a puddle of the marinade as a dipping sauce.

you can use a varity of marinades-soy sauce-italian dressing or plain old BBQ sauce

personally I don't marinate-for a snack or party -I cube and roll in flour that I've added spices to (Mrs. Dash, garlic,italian-your fav) then fry in oil till lightly browned and serve with your fav. dipping sauce (BBQ-honey mustard-etc)

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMoVX

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
