Tofu Marinated and Crumbled

Tofu or bean curd is a kind of soy cheese. It’s made by curdling soy milk (which is made from soybeans) with salt. On its own, it doesn’t have much flavor, but you can give it an instant boost with a marinade. The drier the tofu, the crispier it becomes when you fry it. Pat the tofu dry or place it between two layers of absorbent paper towel an hour before use.
