Tips:

  • Use firm or extra-firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape when cooking.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will help remove excess water and make the tofu more flavorful.
  • Marinate the tofu. This will help add flavor to the tofu.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help prevent the tofu from sticking to the pan and will also help it cook evenly.
  • Do not overcook the tofu. Overcooked tofu will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the tofu immediately. Tofu is best when served fresh.
