I really wish blogger had subtitles. I need them. Everything I make needs a subtitle. Usually, I would make the subtitle the real title. Using this entry as an example -- the real title is:
HOW TO EAT AN ENTIRE BLOCK OF TOFU IN ONE DAY. But that doesn't tell you what it is. That is a subtitle. So I leave the title with the name of the thing, and my snarky comments don't draw attention.
But seriously. I did not know I could eat a block of tofu in ONE DAY until I made this, and could not stop eating it.
When I made this delicious baked item - kind of like a jerky (I really have no frame of reference so that's kind of bullshit), I knew it needed thin slicing. Usually when I bake tofu, I cut it into 8 slices. It is routine. Half, than imagine the halves halving, and voila-- 8 slices. But, I've realized, I don't like 8 slices. I want thinner slices. I think it was more than 20 slices, and I ate all of them in one day.
I actually started by pressing the tofu - something I don't do these days as often as I used to. I think this is in part because I don't rely upon tofu as much as I used to. It's not a once-a-week thing so much as a once-every-few-months thing, and I've been freezing it lately, which makes pressing pretty unnecessary. But for this, I used fresh tofu, and I pressed it, using a glass baking dish and some heavy tomato-something cans.
The marinade is from Vegan with a Vengeance, made for tempeh and not tofu, but I far prefer this.
3 T soy sauce
1/3 c apple cider
1 t tomato paste
1/4 t liquid smoke (I am generous)
2 cloves pressed garlic
