Tofu can be good but it needs a lot of help.

Buy a block of the firmest tofu. Drain your tofu then press some of the water out of it by putting several layers of paper towels on a plate, the tofu, several layers of paper towel, then another plate, now press slightly (not enough to smoosh it). After pressing 15 minutes or so slice the tofu block into about 6 slices. Now lay the tofu single layer and freeze it. After it is frozen thaw it out. The process of pressing, freezing, and thawing tofu makes it pleasantly chewey and lets it soak up flavors of other foods.

Now marinade it in your favorite marinade. equal parts apple juice and soy sauce is good, as is equal parts of water, soy, and honey. Add some garlic and/or ginger if you are so inclined.

Now fry it, deep frying is best.

This tofu is so good even your friends who swear they don’t like tofu will be impressed.
