Five-spice Tofu

Ingredients

 * 2 cakes firm tofu
 * 3 tablespoons tamari
 * 3/4 cup water
 * 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder
 * 2 whole stars of star anise
 * 1 teaspoon molasses

Directions
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 and add tofu. Simmer, uncovered, on very low heat for 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and marinate for 3 hours, turning 2 or 3 times. Keep refrigerated and wrapped for a week.
