CURRIED TOFU WITH SOY SAUCE
Tofu is light, so I wanted to make the sauce as substantial as possible. Use canned coconut milk with the caramelized onions. Like heavy cream, coconut milk will thicken a sauce, making it luxurious in almost no time. Then, to add contrasting texture, I decided to use nuts as well. Both walnuts and cashews do splendidly here. But the bottom line is the onions: they really must be browned carefully and thoroughly, without burning. (Sam Sifton)

Tips:
- Choose the right tofu: For best results, choose firm or extra firm tofu. Soft or silken tofu will not hold up well in this recipe.
- Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu removes excess moisture, which helps it to absorb the marinade and curry sauce better. To press the tofu, wrap it in a few layers of paper towels and place it on a plate. Place another plate on top of the tofu and weigh it down with something heavy, such as a can of beans or a heavy skillet. Let the tofu press for 30 minutes.
- Marinate the tofu: Marinating the tofu helps to infuse it with flavor. In this recipe, the tofu is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic. You can also add other spices and herbs to the marinade, such as ginger, chili powder, or cumin.
- Fry the tofu: To fry the tofu, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil to the skillet and then add the tofu. Cook the tofu for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and crispy.
- Make the curry sauce: While the tofu is frying, you can make the curry sauce. In this recipe, the curry sauce is made with a mixture of coconut milk, curry powder, and vegetables. You can also add other ingredients to the curry sauce, such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Serve the fried tofu with curry sauce: Once the tofu is fried and the curry sauce is made, you can serve the dish. Arrange the fried tofu on a plate and top it with the curry sauce. You can also serve the dish with rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
Fried tofu in curry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tofu is crispy and flavorful, and the curry sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
