Instructions
Here are the easy steps to prepare your Delicious Seasoned Tofu:
1. Prepare Tofu: Begin by draining the tofu. Wrap it in a clean towel and place something heavy on top for about 15 minutes to press out excess water.
2. Cut Tofu: Once pressed, cut the tofu into cubes, slices, or triangles, depending on your preference.
3. Make Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground ginger, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
4. Marinate Tofu: Toss the tofu pieces into the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. If time permits, let them marinate for 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
5. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a bit more olive oil if desired.
6. Coat Tofu: Take the marinated tofu out of the bowl and dust with cornstarch for added crispiness.
7. Cook Tofu: Place tofu pieces in the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve: Remove the tofu from the skillet and let it sit for a minute. Garnish with fresh herbs.
