There's a ton of great tofu out there (miso soup anyone?) but for our money, nothing's better than a crispy tofu with a nice sauce. This dinner has the crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside yumminess we crave. But the spicy hot orange sauce it gets doused in is the real delight. A pineapple jalapeño salsa tops the tofu with aplomb. Great tofu, or greatest tofu?
