Author Notes
To turn this into a complete vegetarian meal, double the marinade ingredients and use half the marinade for the tofu. The procedure for using tofu is as follows: Early in the day, prepare one pound of extra-firm tofu as follows: cut in half horizontally, then into thirds vertically. Place tofu in a single layer on a paper-towel-lined plate, cover with more paper towels, weight with another plate, and refrigerate for at least one hour (longer is fine). This important step prevents the tofu from falling apart during cooking. Then transfer the tofu to a container and marinate (refrigerated) in half the marinade for at least 1 hour. Saute tofu in Pam or olive oil, turning til all four sides are browned and crispy. Serve over the greens. —chefbj
