I don't think I'll ever eat tofu any other way! It was delicious. I have to admit, I didn't have the yeast, or the garlic salt...lol. I made up the spice using Mrs. Dash Table Blend which has powdered garlic, peppet and many other nice spices and things, plus a fancy New Zealand organic sea salt. I had read an article where some chefs made crispy tofu, their tip was never press out the moisture, and don't move it too much; let it get browned well on each side, so I kind of incorporated that as well. Thanks!

This is the best tofu I've made for myself in my nearly 5 years of eating tofu!

Thanks for an awesome recipe! Soon I'll be brave and try variations.
