About 2/5 of a block of tofu - put the remainder in a nice covered container of water to store in refrigerator -
I sliced my piece in half, patted it dry and also wrapped it in a tea towel for an hour to dry it but if I were in a hurry I'd skip the tea towel step, and just pat dry.
frying pan - heated about a tablespoon of canola oil until a drop of water made it sizzle.
dredged my tofu in cornstarch.
fried each side for a few minutes - it was crispy but not much color.
painted hoison sauce on one side, flipped it over - 30 or 40 seconds or so - painted in the other, flipped it over again - hoison carmelizes, delicious crust.
I put my tofu on a big bed of broccol florets that i had just cooked by boiling in salted water. I took a spoonful of that water and swished it in the hot tofu pan, and it gathered up the bits of carmelized hoison and made a thin sauce, I poured a little over the broccoli. Delicious! The rest I left cuz it keeps the pan from being hard to clean.
Approx. 300 calories, you don't eat all of the oil, by the way. 15 grams of protein. very filling.
