SWEET AND SOUR TOFU

Serves 4

This recipe is pretty straightforward, but of course that doesn't mean it isn't open
to adapting to what's in your fridge. The lemon juice gives the tofu a fruity side,
but substitute a mild vinegar in a pinch. I used 1 tablespoon grated garlic instead
of ginger and it was delicious.

Ingredients
1 block firm tofu
about 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup honey/maple syrup/brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated ginger (or garlic)

Cut the tofu into slices about 1 inch thick. Press the water out of the slices, then
cut them into 1-inch square cubes. In a baggie or on a wide plate, toss the tofu
with the whole wheat flour til all the pieces have a thin coating.

Mix the lemon juice, sweetener, soy sauce, and ginger in a small bowl.

In a frying pan, warm the oil. In one layer, brown the tofu (in two batches if your
pan is small). When it’s browned, add the sauce and let it cook down so the tofu is
nicely and thickly coated, 5-10 minutes.
