asian-marinated tofu steaks

Even if you're not a vegetarian, you have to appreciate tofu's ability to soak up every flavor it comes into contact with. In this recipe, those flavors are bold and spicy.

Serves 2

1 14-oz package extra firm tofu
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp sriracha sauce
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp grated ginger
canola or coconut oil

Slice tofu into 8 slices and set on paper towels to drain. Mix together remaining ingredients in a large, shallow dish. Add tofu and marinate, turning (carefully!) occasionally, for 1 hour. Remove tofu from marinade and pat dry. Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over high heat. When oil shimmers, place tofu in a single layer in the pan. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until a golden crust has formed, then turn and repeat. Remove from heat and drizzle with remaining marinade. Serve hot.
