a late night snack

So! I've ignored this blog for quite a while, eh? I've been pretty lazy about cooking lately, I'll admit. I would've been quite happy to cook more often -- it's actually just the grocery shopping I've been lazy about. This is why meal planning in advance is so important, so you know what to buy for the week and aren't standing in front of the refrigerator with your stomach growling, saying "I could make this if only I had..."

Anyhow, I usually have tofu on hand so I made this late night snack when I was feeling munchy. It's one of my favorite things to snack on.



I usually like to freeze/thaw my tofu to give it a different texture, but for this snack I like to use tofu that hasn't been frozen. It's very simple to make. Here I cut the tofu into flat squares, but sometimes I do little cubes too. Then I toss them in a bit of flour, shaking off any excess, and saute them until they're getting a little brown, usually about 15 minutes (turning to get other sides during that time of course). The dipping sauce is equal parts tamari and rice vinegar. It is soooo delicious, and best of all easy.

And if you're extra hungry you can be like me and add a couple pieces of bread and glass of wine too. :-)
