Tofu Teriyaki

It seems as though I’m on a tofu kick lately.  The “skillet dry fry” as I call it is my favorite way to prepare tofu.  But tonight I baked it in the oven.  Baking is definitely easier and far less time consuming, but I like the “skillet dry fry” method the best.  Bottom line is [...]

Tofu, Potato, and Pea Curry
