Spicy Deep Fried Tofu


Tonight after lots of arguing about if we should go out to eat or stay in, I asked Lisa what she wanted to do. She said, "I want you to have a snack, and I want to make this Tofu." Why I needed a snack I dont know, somehow she tricked me into having a bit of manchego cheese before dinner. I guess it was ok.

So Making this stuff was pretty easy. Marinate the tofu in a 50/50 mixof teriaki and spicy peanut sauce. Bread it with flour and red chili powder (believe it or not it was Lisa's idea to add chile, normally that's my thing... if its good now it must then be really good if we add chili!). Deep fry it in a wok at high heat. Then use all the left over juces and stir fry every random veggie left in the fridge. Wow!

All that's left here is to serve it all over a bed of rice. Think fluffy white jasmine rice; think sugar snap peas, onions, mushrooms, garlic, red bell peper, and carrots; think fried tofu - soft on the inside with a bit of crust just spicy enough to catch a hint of red chili. Oh man, it was good.
