Caramelized Tofu Wings Recipes

Steps:

• Slice tofu into 6 slices. Lay flat onto a clean kitchen towel. Fold towel over to cover tofu completely. Cover with a baking sheet and set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for about 30 minutes.
• Combine cornstarch, flour, bouillon, garlic powder, and cayenne powder in a shallow bowl. Pour soy milk into another bowl.
• Cut each slice of tofu in half, for 12 'wings' total. Dip each slice in soy milk; roll into the cornstarch mixture. Place coated slices on a plate.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the coated tofu slices. Fry, flipping halfway, until crispy on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes total. Add hot sauce and margarine to the saucepan and stir to coat the tofu.

Steps:

• Note: This dish utilizes the subtlety and texture of tofu to serve as a vehicle for the spicy flavors of the sweet dressing. The combination of the 2 works really well.
• Slice the tofu into 4 pieces and place them in a single layer on absorbent paper, lay some more paper on top and gently press down, leave for 20 minutes. This drains off excess water and makes frying easier.
• Heat up a fry pan and drizzle in the oil, add the tofu and fry until golden, gently flip over, and cook on the other side. Take out of the pan and place on a plate. Place a wok over heat and add the water and sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and cook over a moderate heat, without stirring, until the sugar begins to caramelize and goes a golden amber color. Now add the ginger, galangal, chiles, lemongrass, shrimps, and lime leaves and stir it into the caramel. It will firm up a little, but keep it cooking over the heat for 20 seconds, then add the lemon juice and fish sauce and bring to a boil. Spoon the sauce over the tofu and eat while warm.

Steps:

• Blend the water, sugar, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and wine vinegar together over medium heat in a large electric skillet till the sugar has dissolved and the consistency is smooth.
• Put the wings in the sauce, cover it and let it simmer for 30 seconds.
• Now uncover it and let it simmer for 30 minutes till the wings become soft and the sauce thickens, occasionally putting sauce over the wings.
• Add sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Wrap the tofu with paper towels, place a heavy skillet on top and press for a few minutes to remove some of the excess water.
• Cook the tofu strips in hot 12" nonstick skillet with a pinch of salt and about 1-2 teaspoons of oil. Saute until lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, if using, and pecans(or other nuts), and cook for another minute. Stir in sugar. Cook for a few more minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in cilantro. Scrape the tofu out onto a plate with a spatula and set aside.
• Now, in the same pan (you don't need to wash it), add 1-1 1/2 teaspoons more oil, another pinch of salt, and turn up the heat to medium-high.
• When the pan is hot stir in the sliced brussels sprouts(they will appear shredded).
• Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring a few times (only a few) until you get some nice golden bits and the rest of the sprouts are just tender.
• Great served with brown rice or over soba noodles.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Mix the oil, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, garlic, salt and pepper and pour over the chicken.
• Bake at 375°F (190°C) for one hour or until sauce is caramelized.
