Fried tofu in lemongrass

• 1 packages firm tofu
• 3 tbsp chopped lemongrass
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp minced red pepper
• 1 tbsp tumeric

1. Open and drain water out of tofu package.
2. Use paper towels to firmly squeeze dry the tofu.
3. Any water on tofu will pop and splatter all over when frying.
4. Sliver diagnally on one side of tofu, not too deep, flip and slice opposite diagnally on the other side.
5. Optionally can make slits all around.
6. Put on plate.
7. In small bowl, add lemongrass, salt, hot pepper, tumeric.
8. Mix well.
9. Wear gloves to gently put mixture in slits of tofu.
10. Tumeric will stain hands, and no need to explain touching cut hot peppers with your bare hands.
11. Can let it sit in fridge to marinate it better, or just fry it if in a hurry.
12. Flip tofu on both sides when frying.
13. Serve with rice and vegetables.
