NOTES : The liquid in the tofu can make this dish too wet, or make the tofu
more susceptible to breaking up. To prevent this problem, drain off the liquid
before using the tofu. Place the rinsed tofu on a plate. Put another plate or
bread board on top. Place a weight on top of the board, such as a can of beans
or tomatoes. Allow to sit for at least 15 minutes. Discard excess liquid &
pat dry.

The recipe as it is makes for an oriental-style flavour, but adding oregano,
red pepper & onion can make it italian-style; try it with any combination of
veg & spices you fancy. The nutritional yeast adds a cheesy, nutty taste
that's really nice, and great for vegans, too. I like the italian-style,
tossed into a pita, sprinkled with mozza, then broiled for a sec to melt the
cheese.
