Where in or near the square can I get fried chicken? I've got a MAJOR craving.

Pan fried tofu always ends up mushy on me, but deep-fried tofu is pretty well where it's at. I like marinating the tofu sticks in teriaki and not being shy with the sriracha when they're done.

The secret to pan-frying tofu, for me, is to press the hell out of it (press it for at least an hour), then marinate in something for a half-hour, then toss it in cornstarch. Also, start with good tofu--Reliable Market and Super 88 have the good stuff.

Well, sure you press it. But for some reason pan frying tofu doesn't get along with me.

The way to do it is by first freezing and thawing the tofu, *then* squeeze it out. Different world.

This is part of why I can never own a deep fryer.
