1 pound firm tofu
2 cups vegetable broth
1 clove garlic,minced and pressed
1/2 cup soy sauce
lemon-pepper seasoning to taste
1 T "Cajun" hot-pepper seasoning or to taste
1/2 cup cornstarch
cooking oil or spray-on cooking oil

Slice the tofu into 1/2 inch slices.  Pat dry and place in a deep
bowl.  Combine the broth and the next three ingredients and pour
over the tofu.  Let sit in the refrigerator at least 8 hours.
Remove tofu slices from the marinade and pat dry.  Combine the
cornstarch and hot-pepper seasoning. and shake over the sliced
tofu.  Heat oil in a skillet and sauti the slices until they are
light brown and crisp.  Serve immediately.

If serving as an appetizer, cut tofu into 1 inch cubes.  It is also
delicious sauted without the cornstarch crust.

Notes: This is delicious with a side of sesame noodles and steamed
or stir-fried oriental vegetables.

It also makes a nice "chicken" salad or a sandwich.  The marinade
makes a nice soup base.  You can also purchase the Cajun seasoning
in a salt-free version.
