Awesome tofu recipe!

Okay, I know some of you are skeptic about tofu, but we have really fallen in love with it. It's a great source of protein and its cheap! So...

This is not the healthiest meal because of the sauce, but it's yummy!

1 pkg extra firm tofu (this is about enough for 4 people, unless you stretch the recipe by serving it over rice)
1 bottle Iron Chef garlic sesame glaze
bag of frozen stir fry veggies

the night before press the water out of the tofu. The best way to do this is to place it between a towel or paper towels and then put a plate on top. Use some cans on top for weight and change the towels at least once until most of the water is out.

cube the tofu and lightly coat with glaze. Let sit for 1/2 hour. The tofu won't absorb the glaze the way it does a marinade, but it will absorb some.

in one pan, sautee the veggies with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. In a separate pan, sautee the tofu in a little olive oil over med low heat. Turn as you cook until the glaze starts to caramelize on the tofu. Serve over veggies.
