The refrigerator light goes on...
I created this recipe previously using chicken breasts and it is really good. The idea of the tofu came from a visitor to the website who wanted to be able to cook meals for her family but her daughter was vegetarian (the rest of the family was not.
There are a lot of recipes that lend themselves to using extra-firm tofu such as this recipe. The key is in searing the tofu in a medium hot pan. The extra-firm tofu makes for a better texture than the other styles of tofu, and it's easier for cooking.
