I was casting about for something new to do with tofu, and I came upon a recipe for "Pan-Fried Sesame Garlic Tofu" from some random blog, and since the picture was so pretty and I had all the ingredients, I gave it a try. Nothing really new: dust tofu with cornstarch, pan fry, make a sauce with soy sauce, ginger-garlic sauce, honey, sesame oil, and little more cornstarch. I doubled the sauce, added Chinese broccoli, and served all over rice. I added the tofu to the sauce and let it simmer. to get that crispy-chewy texture I am always hoping for. It turned out really well! Even though upon reading through the recipe after dinner, I realized that when she called for ginger-garlic sauce, she meant sambal oelek (not really the same thing, lady!). I had used some Chinese sauce I had, confusingly also called ginger-garlic sauce. Oh well, still delicious. Even Carter, who has been quite the fussy young man lately, liked it.
