Tofu Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cut and Marinate

    Once pressed, cut the tofu into cubes. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Coat with Cornstarch

    After marinating, sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu cubes and toss gently to coat all sides.

  4. 4

    Cook the Tofu

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the tofu from the skillet and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
