From Just Hungry. The two conflicting sides of my appetite... Together at last! Yum! Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package firm tofu |
bacon, strips |
brown sugar, soy sauce |
Directions:
1. Drain the tofu, and wrap in several layers of paper towels. Place on a plate and put a board or another plate on top.
2. Leave for a few minutes to drain some water out of the tofu. Unwrap and cut into bite sized pieces that are about the width of your bacon.
3. Wrap each piece in bacon, going around at least once so the ends overlap. You may need to cut the bacon.
4. Heat up a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Put the bacon wrapped tofu pieces with the overlapping edges side down.
5. Cook until crisp, then turn. Keep cooking and turning until done on all sides.
6. A sweet-salty variation is to add a little bit of soy sauce to the pan, and a sprinkle (maybe about 2 tsp.) of brown sugar; stir rapidly to melt the sugar, then turn the bacon-tofu in the sauce until the moisture has largely evaporated.
7. Eat hot or at room temperature, preferably with plain rice as part of a Japanese meal. Also a nice appetizer or sake drinking accompaniment.
