Faux Tokwa't Baboy

Having cooked most of the dishes in the Cohen Recipe Book, I decided to look for other dishes online.  I found this delicious dish:  "Tokwa't Baboy".  The texture and appearance of the mushrooms makes you think you're eating pork rind with a strip of fat.

Tofu
Asparagus
Zucchini
Shitake mushrooms
Onions
Balsamic vinegar
Garlic powder
Salt & pepper
Splenda

Marinate tofu in balsamic vinegar for 30 minutes.  When done, cut up the tofu into thin rectangles so that it crisps when fried.

Fry the tofu pieces until golden brown and then set aside.

On the same pan, sautee all the other vegetables and toss in all the other ingredients.  Add a little water and let everything simmer until water is reduced in half.

Serve with tofu.
