TOFU WITH GARLIC MIRIN SAUCE
I came up with this recipe as a result of becoming vegan, and no longer being able to eat mirin chicken with my Japanese friends. The glaze takes on a dark brown color, and coats the fried tofu very nicely. You may want to make extra sauce to serve over rice.

WICKED GARLIC TOFU SAUTE
Amazingly fast and tasty recipe, very healthy too. Even the husband (not normally a huge tofu fan) enjoys it. I love it with tons of garlic but you can use less if you must. The oyster sauce I don't measure so it's approximate. It's pretty salty so use it to your taste. You could serve it with cooked white rice, but it's just as good plain.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tofu, garlic, and about half of the oyster sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, until garlic is lightly browned but not burning. Remove from the skillet to a bowl, and set aside.
- Add the frozen vegetables to the same skillet and cook vegetables according to package directions, substituting chicken broth for the water, and seasoning with the remaining oyster sauce. When vegetables are cooked, mix the tofu garlic mixture back into the pan, and heat through. Serve plain or over rice.

SPICY TOFU MARINADE
This is inspired by a recipe by Andrea Chesman, who has some wonderful grilling ideas for tofu in her book "The Vegetarian Grill." It makes enough marinade or dipping sauce for a pound of tofu.

MIRIN SAUCE
A dear friend showed me this sauce and it has become my favourite! I use it for everything. One of my favourite dishes is Quorn and baby soy beans dry fried until they begin to look chargrilled then tossed in this sauce and serve with rice. I have given measurements for 1 serving as it's how I make it the most.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well combined, make sure no lumps of cornflour remain.
- Heat an empty pan on the stove and add the sauce. Heat until it bubbles (happens quickly) and stir until thickened, it should have the consistency of oil (I have never heated it longer so I don't know if it would thicken more).
- Serve the sauce hot, pour over cooked meat and veg, stir trough cooked rice, dip sushi in (or fingers) or add to cooked tofu/quorn.

Tips:
- Use extra firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape better when cooking.
- Press the tofu before cooking. This will help to remove excess water and make the tofu more flavorful.
- Cut the tofu into uniform pieces. This will help the tofu cook evenly.
- Brown the tofu before adding the sauce. This will help to create a crispy texture.
- Use a good quality mirin. Mirin is a sweet Japanese rice wine that adds a lot of flavor to the sauce.
- Don't overcook the tofu. Tofu is a delicate protein that can easily become tough if overcooked.
Conclusion:
This tofu with garlic mirin sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is flavorful and addictive. Serve this dish with rice or noodles, and enjoy!
