Tea-scented Tofu

 I tried an unusual way of "smoking" tofu from The Vegan Slow Cooker book.

Mix raw rice, loose tea (I had to open tea bags), and sugar.  Line the crock with foil and put the rice mixture in.  Put a vegetable steamer basket over that.

 Press and slice the tofu, and put it in the steamer basket.  The recipe said to put it single-layer if possible.  Next time I'd use my bigger Crock Pot.  Turn on high for 4-6 hours.  The longer it "smokes", the denser the tofu.  This method did create a slight smokey smell in the house.  Not something I was comfortable leaving.  You can also add other flavors and spices to the rice mixture.

The resulting tofu was fairly dense, and good to have on hand in the fridge to add to meals.
