Floozy Speak!

Yesterday was an expensive day but I was determined to make the master Alton Brown's Tofu Experience.  I just had to try it.  Why not ya know?  But cooking isn't really something i'd like to think i'm good at.  Still never the less the list was made the shopping began.  A few hundred bucks later.. ok not that much but i still needed some new supplies, ya know the usual stuff, yogurt, bee pollen.. ha! 

Ok so back to the tofu.  Ever since I saw an episode of Good Eats on Tofu I've been hankering to try it.  Could it be yummy?  I have it all the time when I have sushi, it can be yummy but ya it typically lacks any real flavor.  Alton Brown on Good Eats seemed to make it pretty clear it was an easy and very yummy thing to make some night for dinner.  So tonights the nite. 

---- side note..

Woah i've been watching Ghost in the Shell's : Stand Alone Complex - II lately... and I feel like im in the episode where the bad guy tells the good girl the TRUTH to all that is... ya know the plan, the result, the why, etc.. its always man can't handle it!  All bad guys are really heros in their own mind.  And the really bad ones have facial scars and travel in packs.  Production IG has done espeically good job on the quality of animation in this series and the music is beautiful.

Fillet'OFu

1(19-ounce) block firm tofu
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Few dashes of hot pepper sauce
Canola oil to cover skillet by 1/8-inch
2 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Slice the block of tofu into 4 equal portions. Place the slices on paper towels and fold the towels over in both directions to cover the tofu. Place a baking sheet on top of the tofu and weigh it down with a 28-ounce can of tomatoes for 1 hour.

Combine the sherry vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce and place the tofu into the marinade. Marinate for 15 minutes on each side.

Place the flour into a shallow dish and the eggs into another. Lightly beat the eggs.

Heat the canola oil in the skillet over medium-high heat.

Remove tofu from marinade and drain on paper towels to remove any excess marinade.

Lightly dredge the tofu in the flour, knocking off any excess flour and slide into the eggs until completely, but thinly, coated on both sides.

Slide tofu gently into the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes until golden brown and delicious. Flip the tofu using the tongs, and cook for another 2 minutes.

Ok so back to the tofu, aside from almost setting the kitchen on fire, all went as planned, though I didnt haven any Sherry Wine Vinegar, and I couldnt find it.  Anyways everything else, check - did.  The result?  Pretty darn tasty.  I did add some orange ginger sauce at the end to flavor things up even more so.  I had lettcue warps prepared in case all went to hell as well.
