Five-flavored Tofu
Ingredients:
1 pound firm tofu, cut into squares, and set on paper towels for five minutes
1 cup corn oil
1 Tablespoon minced basil
1 Tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 Tablespoon minced sweet red bell pepper
1 Tablespoon fresh coriander, minced
1 Tablespoon celery, minced
1 Tablespoon black vinegar
1 Tablespoon vegetarian oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sugar or corn syrup
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
1 Tablespoon catsup
Preparation:
1. Remove tofu to new dry paper towels and let set another five minutes.
2. Heat oil and deep fry the tofu in three or four batches. Drain well, and set in a paper-towel-lined serving bowl. Repeat until all are fried and golden in color.
3. Mix all the rest of the ingredients, and heat in a small pot until boiling. Remove the paper towel gently so as not to break the tofu apart, and pour the multi-ingredient sauce over the tofu and serve.
