Ingredients

1 pound firm tofu
2 cups vegetable broth
1 clove garlic,minced and pressed
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
lemon-pepper seasoning to taste
1 tablespoon Cajun hot pepper seasoning
1/2 cup cornstarch
cooking oil or spray-on cooking oil

Instructions

Serves two as main dish or four as appetizer.

Slice the tofu into 1/2 inch slices. Pat dry and place in a deep bowl.
Combine the broth and the next three ingredients (garlic, soy sauce, lemon pepper) and pour over the tofu. Let sit in the refrigerator at least 8 hours.
Remove tofu slices from the marinade and pat dry. Combine the cornstarch and hot-pepper seasoning and shake over the sliced tofu.
Heat oil in a skillet and saute the slices until they are light brown and crisp. Serve immediately.

If serving as an appetizer, cut tofu into 1 inch cubes. It is also delicious sauteed without the cornstarch crust.

Notes: This is delicious with a side of sesame noodles and steamed or stir-fried oriental vegetables. It also makes a nice "chicken" salad or a sandwich. The marinade makes a nice soup base. You can also purchase the Cajun seasoning in a salt-free version.
