1
Prepare the Tofu
Drain the firm tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
2
Chop the Aromatics
Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Slice the green onions, keeping the white parts separate from the green parts.

3
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Cook the Tofu
Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and gently stir to coat with the garlic and ginger. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the tofu is golden brown.
5
Add the Sauce
Pour in the soy sauce and add the white parts of the green onions. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.
6
Finish with Garnish
If using, sprinkle sesame seeds and red pepper flakes over the tofu. Garnish with the green parts of the chopped green onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
