Notes

*infuse your own oils by adding a gently crushed clove of garlic or two to a small bowl with the oil! Let it steep for as long as you can prior to using in your cooking. 
**While not necessary, freezing your tofu and letting it thaw in the fridge the morning before you plan to make this dinner will add a new dimension to tofu texture.
