Seared Asian Tofu This recipe has satisfied my customs at Josie's the first day we opened our doors. If you've never tried tofu before, I think you'll be surprised at how incredible this tastes. Add this to anything from burritos to stir-fry or as a substitute for meat. Makes 4 servings.
	Ingredients: 1 pound firm tofu 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon rice wine (mirin) Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon Thai chili-garlic paste
	Instructions: 1. Place the tofu on a paper towel on a plate. Set another plate over the tofu and top with heavy object to remove excess moisture, for about 30 minutes. Slice the tofu lengthwise in 4 equal slices. Place in a shallow Pyrex dish. 2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the remaining ingredients. Pour over the tofu. Marinate the tofu for 15 minutes, turning several times to coat. 3. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, sear the tofu slices for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until browned.
