This is a relatively easy dish that takes less than 15 minutes to prepare.
1 cup peanut oil
1¼ pounds organic tofu, cut into 1 x 2 pieces
3 tablespoons lemon grass, finely chopped
1 red chile pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves organic garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Chinese 5-Spice
Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Heat the peanut oil in a deep pan. Add the tofu and fry until browned, then drain on paper towels and set aside.
In a separate sauté pan or wok, sauté the lemongrass, chili, and garlic in hot vegetable oil until soft.
Add the tofu and mix well. Season with the Chinese 5-Spice, salt and pepper, and serve.
For even easier preparation, fried tofu called Name Age (pronounced namay agay) is available at many major supermarkets.
