Ingredients
- 1 (19-ounce) block firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Few dashes of hot pepper sauce
- Canola oil to cover skillet by 1/8-inch
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Directions
Slice the block of tofu into 4 equal portions. Place the slices on paper towels and fold the towels over in both directions to cover the tofu. Place a baking sheet on top of the tofu and weigh it down with a 28-ounce can of tomatoes for 1 hour.
Combine the sherry vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce and place the tofu into the marinade. Marinate for 15 minutes on each side.
Place the flour into a shallow dish and the eggs into another. Lightly beat the eggs.
Heat the canola oil in the skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove tofu from marinade and drain on paper towels to remove any excess marinade.
Lightly dredge the tofu in the flour, knocking off any excess flour and slide into the eggs until completely, but thinly, coated on both sides.
Slide tofu gently into the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes until golden brown and delicious. Flip the tofu using the tongs, and cook for another 2 minutes.

I think I'd give it 3.5 stars if half stars were allowed. It's a good method for prepping the tofu and getting it ready to fry. I think I'll try some of the suggestions for the marinate next time. I noticed in the Good Eats book that he suggests 2 hours of de-watering and putting sirachi chili sauce on top.

For those who love tofu, are vegetarians, or want to change this up, try this:
substitute Worcestershire with soy sauce..
add a teaspoon of either turbinado or brown sugar..
for some depth, I like to add a chipotle (the kind canned in adobo sauce, blend with entire mixture either in a food processor or with a magic stick..
One time I was out of sherry wine vinegar, so I added some pinot grigio and apple cider vinegar; it made a nice touch. For a tangy twist, try adding 2T of orange juice.
Happy TOFU!

I usually enjoy Alton's recipes, but this has to be the worst yet. It kind of defeats the purpose of why I eat tofu, because it is healthy. But breadiing and frying this negates that fact. Flavor was bland, and not pleasing. Deleting from my recipe box. Sorry Alton, but I still love you! :
