Tofu Cutlets

These easy-to-make stovetop cutlets are delicious on sandwiches, on top of grain bowls, in sushi rolls, and as hand-held snacks. You can sprinkle on your favorite seasonings while they are cooking. We often sprinkle on onion powder and turmeric.

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg extra-firm tofu (about 14 oz)
• 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup water
• 1 Tablespoon coconut oil or other oil (optional)

Directions:

1. Rinse the tofu with water and place on a cutting board.
2. Slice the tofu into long strips, depending on how thick you want them. Usually about 8-10 cutlets.
3. Place the tofu in a skillet and mix in soy sauce, vinegar, and water.
4. Place on medium-high heat. Once it is cooking away, cover, and reduce to medium-low.
5. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Be sure to check it often so it doesn't burn.
6. Top with oil if desired.

Yields: 4-6 servings
