    That sounds amazing!! I need to learn how to properly cook tofu...every time I do it it's watery...maybe I'm buying the wrong kind?

    Buy extra firm and make sure you drain it well, if you take it out of the package, maybe put it on a papertowel and then use like a plate or something to press on the other side... but don't press too hard, you don't want to break it. The more water you get out of it, the more it absorbs the flavor of the dish.

    Bingo. Drainage is key.

    I put 2 paper towels on a cutting board, then tofu, then 2 more towels, then a plate. After 15 minutes, I change out the towels, flip it over, and let it sit another 5-10. You'll be shocked how much water comes out. I think a lot of people think sitting the brick on top of one paper towel for 5 minutes is enough, but it really isn't sufficient at all.

    dc-- can you please post that recipe or PM me or something? The sauce part especially. I am a spicy-sauce-aholic!!

    my lunch: coffee, yogurt, granola bar :? guess who forgot her lunch this morning?

    That sounds like a pretty efficient draining process. More effort than I go through, but I'm goign to try your procedure next time. :geek:
