Lay tofu evenly on a plate lined with a couple layers of paper towels. Layer more paper towels on top of the tofu and place another plate on top of the stack. Press out as much water as possible and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

A delicious cilantro fried rice. You can use either chicken, pork, bacon, or seafood such as calamari and prawns.
Air Fryer Korean Fried Chicken
I'm lucky to live in an area with an abundance of Korean restaurants, and this is my take on a local restaurant's Korean fried chicken. Serve chicken with cooked rice if desired.
Mongolian Meatloaf
I could not be more pleased with how this Mongolian Meatloaf experiment turned out. Since I couldn't decide whether to make meatloaf or Mongolian beef, I decided to try both things at once. The result is a tender meatloaf, sliced and crisped in a skillet and served with a sweet, salty, savory sauce, which, like the American Chinese restaurant favorite, Mongolian Beef, is not remotely Mongolian. But it sure is delicious, especially served over steamed rice with bok choy.
