Coconut-Herb Marinated Crisp Tofu
This recipe is inspired by “escabeche,” the tradition of marinating food after cooking common to the Philippines, Caribbean, and South America. The base is usually grilled or fried fish but the technique is perfect for seasoning deep-fried tofu. Coconut milk is an excellent vehicle to deliver a rich soaking sauce of fresh herbs. It’s great over salad greens, rice, or grains or slipped into sandwiches or tortillas.
