Lots of excellent advice here, I just want to place extra emphasis on something... Getting the water out of the tofu is ridiculoulsy important. Pressing it with paper towels is okay, much better is wrapping it with paper towels and...
Christ, Sudo. That's a great story about an awesome bar, but it sure doesn't make me want to go to The Long Room. That was suppposed to be the point of this post, right? Okay, maybe I'm being a little...
