1
Pressing the Tofu
Start by pressing the organic firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top (like a skillet) for about 15-20 minutes.
2
Cutting the Tofu
After pressing, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes or slices, depending on your preference.

3
Mixing the Marinade
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, ginger powder, and sesame oil. Whisk until well blended.
4
Marinating the Tofu
Place the tofu pieces in the marinade and let it soak for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.

5
Heating the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it is shimmering but not smoking.
6
Cooking the Tofu
Add the marinated tofu to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

7
Garnishing the Tofu
Once cooked, remove the tofu from the skillet and transfer it to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
8
Serving
Serve the organic tofu warm, alongside rice or vegetables as desired.
