2teaspoonsof ground clove
2teaspoonsof chili powder
1/4teaspoonof cayenne
1teaspoonof dried rosemary
1teaspoonof dried oregano
1teaspoonof dried thyme
1/2teaspoonof ground coriander
1/2teaspoonof dried sage
1teaspoonof ground black pepper
1/2teaspoonof onion powder (optional)
1packageof extra firm tofu (pressed if not vacuumed pack) sliced into 1/4-1/2 inch thick slices
1mango cubed
1/4cupof chopped cilantro
2Tablespoonsof agave syrup
oil for cooking and brushing tofu
Instructions
Mix all those spices together! Admire!
Prep your tofu! Make sure as much moisture is pressed out of it as possible (stick it between napkins under a dictionary for an hour or so or get yourself a TofuXpress). Water is the #1 enemy of fried tofu lovers everywhere.
Brush olive oil (or any good cooking oil) on all sides of the tofu. Dip into the spice mixture and coat on all sides.
Option 1: Pre-heat oven to 425 and bake the tofu slices for 10-12 minutes or until browned.Option 2: Heat wok or pan to medium heat. Do not oil the pan. Cook the spiced tofu for 5-7 minutes on each side, until tofu is slightly browned.
To make the mango topping, mix together the mango, cilantro, and agave. Plop it on the heated tofu and eat it with a smile.
Notes
If you don’t have all these spices, only go out and buy them if you plan on using them frequently. Spices are notoriously expensive. Use what you got.
