Soy-Glazed Tofu

• 1 (12-ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cut crosswise into 6 slices
• 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon grated orange rind
• 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons thinly diagonally sliced green onions
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

1. Cut each slice of tofu in half diagonally. Place tofu slices on several layers of paper towels, and cover tofu with additional paper towels; let stand 15 minutes, pressing down occasionally.
2. Combine vinegar and next 4 ingredients (through rind) in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes or until thick and syrupy. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange tofu slices in pan in a single layer; saute 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from heat; pour vinegar mixture over tofu to coat. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
3. Wine note: Tofu works with just about every wine, but given the flavors of soy sauce, orange, and sesame, a refreshing white is in order. In particular, sesame and orange both work magnificently with unoaked chardonnay. My favorite: St. Supery Oak Free Chardonnay from Napa Valley, California. The 2008 is $ -Karen MacNeil
