served with two hardboiled eggs and a hotdogtopus.
First i patted dry the tofu then cut it into strips. Then i dredged the strips in flour and fried them with about a tablespoon of sesame oil, over medium high heat until the tofu was a light golden brown.
For the peanut sauce, I sauteed a couple cloves of garlic in another tablespoon or two of sesame oil. then i added about a half cup of peanut butter, a splash of soy sauce, ponzu, and rice vinegar. stir it up until its all combined and the peanut butter has melted. then i added about a cup of water and stirred until combined, this way the sauce won't form a solid chunk when it's cold.
to make the hot dog octopus, first cut a hotdog in half. then cut the legs by slicing quarters into the hotdog twice so you have 8 legs, but only go half way up the body so there's still a sold chunk at the top. fry the hotdog in a little bit of oil, turning occasionally. the legs should curl up on their own. this doesn't really work with veggie dogs, so you'll have to use real hot dogs that are made of meat.
