Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 block (14 oz) tofu, Firm or Extra Firm
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion salt
Instructions
Prepare the tofu
- Cube the tofu into 36 cubes. (See photos above for my easy method.)
Cook the tofu
- Add the tofu, salt, garlic powder, onion salt, and 1 Tbsp olive oil to a NONSTICK skillet.
- Cook/fry the tofu over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes. Flip the tofu every 1-3 minutes to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- At the 12-15 minute mark, add the final 1 Tbsp of olive oil, and toss it into the tofu.
- Tofu is done when each cube has browned and is slightly crisp. The pan will be mostly dry.
Serve and enjoy!
- Serve the tofu with roasted potatoes and chickpeas, with rice or noodles with veggies, in a sandwich, or over a salad. Enjoy!
Notes
You can make just about any meal with this tofu, like this salad, sandwich, or noodles. It’s also a great side with pasta dishes, or with roasted potatoes and chickpeas.
Be sure to use a nonstick skillet for this recipe.
