- To defrost tofu, place plastic bag filled with frzn tofu into bowl of warm water. After about 15 min, drain bowl and ad more warm water.
- Repeat process till tofu is soft.
- Remove tofu from plastic bag, rinse, and then squeeze out excess water by placing cakes between two plates and pressing plates together while tipping out water. Cut tofu horizontally into 1/2 inch thick slices.
- In large shallow pot, combine water, ginger, and soy sauce. Simmer sliced tofu in the marinade for 20 min. With large spatula, remove tofu.

- Set aside.
- To make dip, combine soft tofu, 1/2 c water, and 2 Tb soy sauce in blender or possibly food processor; pour this batter onto large flat plate.
- Place whole-wheat flour in a second flat plate and cornmeal on a third.
- Dredge each slice of marinated tofu first in flour, then in batter, and last in cornmeal.
- Heat oil to sizzling in large skillet and deep or possibly shallow fry (as you prefer) each cutlet till both sides are golden. Drain on paper towels.

- Note: to freeze tofu, place in plastic bag, seal, and freeze for a minimum of 48 hrs before thawing. The color of frzn tofu will be a light amber, and when cooked, its texture will be pleasantly chewy.
