1 lb Hard tofu, pressed, and cut
-into 3/4" cubes
1 tb Vegetable oil
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Sliced celery
1/2 c Half moon slices of cucumber

1. Stir fry tofu cubes in vegetable oil in a
non-stick skillet until golden and crispy, about 15
minutes.
Sprinkle with salt.

2. Combine all ingredients except pita bread and
lettuce. Cover and refrigerate for one hour to blend
flavors.

3. Line pita pockets with leaf lettuce and fill with
tofu salad.

To press tofu, cut tofu block into 2 or 4 equal
pieces and lay on a plate covered with paper towels or
a clean dish cloth. Cover with more paper towels or
dish cloth. Place another plate on top and on top of
the plate put a heavy object. Let stand from 20
minutes to one hour, changing paper towels as they
become soaked.
The longer you press, the firmer the tofu will be.
