CARAMELIZED TOFU GOODNESS!
This is so good and has gotten lots of great comments on Heidi Swanson's food blog. She threw this together one night and it was a hit! If you can't handle Brussels Sprouts, try cabbage, spinach, broccoli(cut up real small), or bok choy. I have changed this just a bit.

- 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.

Tips:
- Use firm or extra-firm tofu: This will help the tofu hold its shape when cooking and prevent it from crumbling.
- Press the tofu before cooking: This will remove excess water and help the tofu absorb the marinade better.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes: This will help the tofu absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat: This will help the tofu cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the tofu from cooking evenly.
- Serve the tofu immediately: This will help the tofu stay crispy.

Caramelized tofu and Brussels sprouts with cilantro and nuts is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
