My favorite tofu recipe is Grit-style tofu. The Grit is a vegetarian restaurant in Athens, GA and they have awesome food. Sadly, I had to move away from Athens, but I have the recipe for their tofu, so I can make it whenever I want. :) All you need is 15 ounces of extra firm tofu, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and vegetable oil. Here are the instructions:
Cut tofu into cubes smaller than playing dice. Lightly oil a non-stick skillet and place over high heat. Allow oil to heat slightly, and add tofu. Saute, tossing with a non-metal spatula until evenly and lightly golden brown. Sprinkle lightly with soy sauce, saute briefly to further brown tofu. Remove from skillet, draining and discarding any excess fluid.
Rinse and wipe skillet dry, lightly oil and place it over high heat. Allow oil to become very hot and add tofu. Saute tofu, tossing with a non-metal spatula almost constantly until very well browned. Sprinkle with soy sauce to taste. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast to coat tofu cubes and, tossing vigorously, saute for a few seconds and remove from heat.
Hope you like it! :)
