Coconut-Crusted Tofu with Peach-Lemongrass Salsa

From EatingWell: June/July 2006

The crunchy-crisp tofu and our spicy-sweet salsa are inspired by that restaurant-chain classic, deep-fried coconut shrimp. Make it a meal: Stir fresh cilantro into basmati rice and serve alongside. Try sliced bananas drizzled with "lite" coconut milk for dessert.

READER'S COMMENT:

"The whole family loves this. Peach season is so short that I use flash frozen local peaches most of the time and it's just as good. "

Good.

To make a bit better follow all instructions except pressing into coconut. Fry the tofu in one pan, and in another pan toast coconut. Plate tofu, salsa then sprinkle toasted coconut on top. Season with a dash of sea salt.

Pros: Fried tofu is nice

Awesome Tofu Dish!!

This is a great mixed dish to try, especially if your new to tofu. I made it the other night for some friends who had never tried tofu before and they loved it. The mixture of flavors and tastes make the tofu hardly noticeable. I found using a tofu press from Tofuxpress extremely helpful to prepare as well.

Not a strong coconut flavor

I think Iwill try frying in coconut oil next time to up the coconut flavor instead of the canola oil. Would also be good with the broiled pineapple recipe instead of the peach salsa.

Pros: Easy to make

Good starting point

I thought this was a great starting point for a meal. I usually like to marinate my tofu before I cook it to add more depth of flavor. I was afraid that the tofu portion of the meal seemed a little bland. I coated the tofu as directed, but marinated it beforehand in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and coconut. This was an excellent meal, and the sides complemented the meal nicely.

Pros: Easy, quick, inexpensive
