Blurred vision, can't walk straight, slurring its words… yup, this tofu has had too much of the sauce. Better put in the tank to cool it out. Better yet, fry it until crispy, then season it with a spice blend of garlic and ginger. Toss it with lo mein (it can't walk straight anyway!) and fresh vegetables such as bok choy and red bell pepper. And just when it's sober enough to drive, let's sauce this tofu again with a stir-fry sauce and some spicy Sriracha. Sounds good? Sounds delicious.
