Beer Battered Silken Tofu with Hand Cut Fries & Green Salad
I guess this is my version of fish and chips. I’m not a huge fan of the fake fish that is available at some pubs – but ultimately I think it was the batter that I always liked the most anyway. Salty citrus dipping sauce is an essential part of this dish – how salty you make it is up to you. Kristin & Ben's food journal: http://on.fb.me/1FqJq2G
