I'm just getting into tofu as well, but buy the extra firm, press in between paper towels (don't go crazy but try to get most of the liquid out), slice it thin, marinate in soy sauce, sesame oil, MSG, and whatever other spices you want for half an hour to a few hours, then fry it up in sesame oil mixed with a high smoke point oil until its brown and crispy on the outside.
