* Cooking tip: when crushing/grinding frozen Macadamia nuts, let them warm up, perhaps even place them in a low temp oven for few minutes before you try to whack them -- they get a little mushy...

Having said that, they stuck to the Tofu nicely and sauteed up beautifully -- the Spicy Mango Salsa was the kicker, really elevating it from a typical dredged Tofu dish.
