  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 14 oz firm tofu, drained and pressed
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– ½ teaspoon ground ginger
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
– Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., cilantro or green onions)


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.

These steps will guide you to achieve the perfect Delicious Seasoned Tofu, making it a highlight of any meal!
