DEEP-FRIED TOFU SIMMERED WITH SCALLION
Viet cooks often deep-fry cubes of tofu until crisp and golden and then add them to a stir-fry or a simmering liquid (in this case, a mixture of fish sauce, water, and scallion). Fried tofu absorbs other flavors especially well, yet holds its shape and retains its faintly nutty overtones. The end result is a chewy, almost meaty quality. Look for regular or medium-firm tofu for deep-frying, never the silken type or the firm type that is best for grilling. Freshly made tofu (see opposite) will puff up during frying and then deflate as it cools; packaged tofu won't do that and will be denser after it is out of the oil. Both will have excellent flavor. When building your menu, treat this recipe as the main savory dish and accompany it with a vegetable dish and/or meat-and-vegetable stir-fry, a simple soup, and rice.

Steps:
- In a wide, shallow saucepan or 10-inch skillet, combine the water and enough fish sauce to create a lightly savory liquid. The tofu will completely absorb this liquid, so make it a little less strong than you would like. Place the pan next to the stove.
- Pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches into a wok or 5-quart Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat to 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer. (If you don't have a thermometer, stand a dry bamboo chopstick in the oil; if small bubbles immediately gather on the surface around the chopstick, the oil is ready.)
- Fry the tofu cubes in 2 or 3 batches to avoid crowding the pan and lowering the oil temperature. Gently drop the tofu into the hot oil, which will foam vigorously. The tofu will immediately sink to the bottom and then eventually float up. As the tofu cubes fry, use a skimmer to push them around to ensure even frying and to separate any that stick together. After 4 to 6 minutes, the cubes should be golden and crispy. Use the skimmer to lift them out of the oil and then shake it over the pan briefly to drain away excess oil. Put the tofu directly into the saucepan holding the fish sauce and water. Repeat until all the tofu is fried. (You can fry the tofu several hours in advance, cover, and keep at room temperature. Just before serving, add the tofu to the fish sauce and water and continue with the recipe.)
- Place the pan over medium heat, bring the tofu and sauce to a simmer, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally to expose all the surfaces to the seasonings, for 3 minutes, or until the tofu absorbs the liquid. Uncover, scatter in the scallion, and give everything a big stir. Transfer to a shallow bowl and serve immediately.
TOFU WITH SIZZLING SCALLION OIL
This refreshing weeknight meal comes together in less than 15 minutes and barely requires turning on the stove. Aromatic garlic, ginger and scallions are gently heated in oil until they sizzle and infuse it, turning into a fragrant, lively sauce for mild silken tofu. Peppery arugula and a final drizzle of tangy cilantro sauce brighten the dish. Enjoy with steamed rice for a heftier meal, or top with fried eggs. Leftover tofu can be stored in the scallion oil and refrigerated; it will have absorbed even more flavor the next day.

Steps:
- Remove the tofu from its package; drain the tofu then pat it dry. Scoop spoonfuls of the tofu onto a large platter and arrange in an even layer. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan, combine neutral oil, sesame oil, scallions, garlic and ginger. Cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until oil is sizzling and garlic, ginger and scallions are softened but not browned, about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, cilantro and vinegar.
- Spoon hot scallion mixture over the tofu. Top with arugula and drizzle with the cilantro sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature.
