2 Ckes tofu, firm

3 tb Tamari

3/4 c Water

1/4 ts Five-spice powder

2 Whole stars of star anise

1 ts Molasses

Cut each cake of tofu in half horizontally. Combine marinade ingredients in a pot wide enough to accept the four tofu pieces in a single layer. Bring marinade to a boil & add tofu. Simmer, uncovered, on very low heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat & marinate for 3 hours, turning 2 or 3 times. Keeps refrigerated & wrapped for a week. "Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant Cookbook"
