I don&#8217;t have a tofu press, so I just wrap it in paper towels, place it between two cutting boards and then put two or three cans of beans or something on top. Watch that it&#8217;s balanced correctly, otherwise the whole thing will topple over. This won&#8217;t affect the tofu in any way, but it will scare the crap out of the dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once most of the water has been pressed out of the tofu, slice it into pieces about 1&#8243; x 1&#8243;x 1\/2&#8243;. We don&#8217;t want the tofu to be too large or it will still be soft in the middle.  On a side note, I read somewhere that tofu is one of the most hated foods in America, but I truly think this is because most peoples experience with it has been in the form of barely cooked gelatinous cubes, which is not appetizing at all. I cooked this tofu to an almost crispy crunch, and it&#8217;s a completely different experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat some oil in your skillet and stir fry the tofu until it browns, but don&#8217;t overcook it. Remove it from the heat, and drain it on paper towels. Set it aside for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the coarsely chopped onion, bell peppers and celery and stir fry for a few minutes, then add the edamame and water chestnuts. Once all the vegetables are looking good, add the noodles and a cup or two of vegetable broth. Stir the whole thing around and then return the tofu to the skillet, stirring it all in to the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the noodles are almost cooked (2-3 minutes) add as much teriyaki sauce as you like, mix it in and serve immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190703_201206-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190703_201206-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190703_201206-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190703_201206-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extra&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t wearing any shoes when I was cooking this, and I stepped on a burning hot coal.

It took about 4 weeks to heal and hurt like Hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we all know not to fry bacon in the nude, and I would like to add &#8211; never walk around a fire pit in bare feet. ..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another excellent vegan dish &#8211; tasty, satisfying and pretty easy to make.
