A Tofu Treat

fried tofu, originally uploaded by umitomo.

I had my first taste of tofu yesterday. It's not very common to find tofu in my small part of the world so I was really surprised to find it stashed away at the back of one of my mum's kitchen cupboards!

Now, I've never cooked tofu before so it was ... not very good. But I loved it and shall definately be buying more!

Heat oil in a wok or frying pan over medium heat. Stir in a little garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 minute. Add tofu to the pan with soy sauce, and stir to coat. Cover, and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.

Squeeze lime juice over tofu before serving.
