Simple Pan Fried Tofu


tofu is one of my favorite foods.. however getting out the extra water is essential.  one of my favorite kitchen gadgets is the TofuXpress.  the container also doubles as a marinating dish.

INGREDIENTS 
1 lb. organic firm tofu (pressed for one hour)
1 tablespoon peanut oil (or canola oil)
salt
fresh ground pepper
paper towels 

METHOD
16 slices or so

heat oil with a cast iron pan on medium high heat.  while heating pan.. slice tofu into 1/4 inch slices.  pan fry each side for about five minutes on both sides (10 minutes total) or until browned marks are present.  I usually do this in two batches.  drain on paper towels to get extra oil off the tofu.  sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper.  enjoy hot or cool them and stuff them into sandwiches.
