Marinated Tofu



This is some useful tofu:  scoop it over a salad, toss with veggies for a stir-fry (shown below with brown rice and peas), or serve alone as a side dish. 

It tastes like something from a particularly awesome and fresh Chinese restaurant.  Adapted from the 1987 version of New Recipes from the Moosewood Restaurant by the Moosewood Collective.

Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
