Grilled Tofu Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 stephen ceideburg
1 lb firm tofu
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 cold and spicy noodles, see recipe
Recipe Preparation
Tofu, once pressed, grills beautifully. Joanie pressed and marinated
the tofu ahead of time; we grilled it on a portable hibachi.
Slice the block of tofu in half, then slice each half into four thick
slabs. Place a double layer of paper towels on a cutting board set
over the sink. Arrange tofu in one layer on the cutting board, then
top with a clean dishtowel. Place a second board on top, then a 4 to
5 pound weight, such as a thick phone book or heavy pot. Let press 20
minutes.
Uncover tofu and place in one layer in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle
with orange juice and soy sauce. Marinate at room temperature 20
minutes.
Broil or grill over hot coals until lightly browned, turning once.
Serve with Cold and Spicy Noodles.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tipsIn deciding on a meal plan, it is essential to also make sure you cut down your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.
Some lower carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Eat regular meals Most low carb recipes are, you won't be surpised to learn, low in carbohydrates. Your body needs energy, and carbs are a highly efficient source of energy. A lower carbohydrate diet requires more care in monitoring you energy intake, as the energy provided by fat or protein is less efficient.
* Food labels can be misleading Watch out for food packaging that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the back of the package. Many are only a little decreased and in some instances still greater than a competitors usual brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are the same.

Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be a part of every diet system.
