Tofu Chow Mein image

This is an easy recipe for a "tofu beginner," as it teaches people how to use it. If you have time, one way to prepare it is to cut the tofu block in half and wrap well in a terry kitchen towel. Let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour to absorb excess water. For a complete meal, serve with Chinese soup and egg rolls! - Autumn SinClaire, Gold Beach, Oregon

The sauce is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less soy sauce.
