Marinated Mini Tofu Steaks
 Place
all the marinade ingredients into a large shallow dish and
mix well. Arrange the tofu slices in the dish, cover and leave
at room temperature for 30 minutes. Turn slices over and marinade
for a further 30 minutes.
In another bowl, mix all the dipping sauce ingredients together.
Cover and set aside.
Add just enough oil to coat the bottom of a medium-szed fring
pan and heat. Remove the tofu steaks from the marinade and
dip in the flour. Cook the steaks, in batches, for 3 minutes
on each side (you may need to add more oil when cooking subsequent
batches). Drain on kitchen roll and serve with the sauce and
any remaining marinade.

Tofu is a soyabean curd rich in protein, vitamins,
minerals and calcium.
You can buy it
fresh or dried, but for this
dish use the fresh variety,
which comes prepacked in a little water.
Drain it well and pat it dry before cooking. If you
don't use the whole packet, keep the rest in the fridge
covered in plenty of water (change daily). |

"Without thoughtful preparation,
tofu can be very bland - but these steaks are anything
but bland. The tofu
soaks up the marinade and the flour coating adds richness
which leaves the tofu soft in the middle and crispy
on the outside."
/Dragana |
"Light but filling, this
is a good dish if You are planning a night down the
disco or a game of squash (not that I playmuch squash,
but I do go to an awful lot of discos!) "

DRAGANA G. BROWN is a private macrobiotic cook and
teacher. She found that her switch to a macrobiotic diet in
the late 1980s freed her from almost 20 years of nagging stomach
problems and even improved her emotional wellbeing. Since
then she has become something of a macrobiotic evangelist,
introducing friends and family to a healthy diet by plying
them with delicious food. She is married to the best selling
Feng Shui author, Simon G. Brown, and credits his literary
success to her cooking.
