Crispy breaded tofu, beans and rice

Last week we decided to make tofu, but we decided that we wanted to make it crispy. Now, although this may seem simple it is in fact rather difficult, as many on the internet can confirm. To get tofu crispy you have to dry it by squeezing out all the water, or heating it. Some people freeze the tofu and then thaw it, which also gets rid of some water while also imparting a meat-like consistency to the tofu.

Or, you could cheat, and coat the tofu in bread crumbs and deep fry it. That's what we did. Dip the tofu in flour, coat in egg, then dip in some bread crumbs with salt. Fry in oil. Enjoy.

On the side we had white rice and black beans, cooked with some onions and garlic. Note: apparently, some canned beans come with a lot of salt in the liquid. So our beans were really salty because I wasn't counting on that. So either don't add salt, or drain yo' beans.
