Tips:

  • Choose the right tofu: For a firmer texture, use extra firm or firm tofu. For a softer texture, use silken tofu.
  • Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu removes excess water and helps it absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the tofu its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful one. The recipe in the article uses a simple marinade made with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat: Cooking the tofu over medium heat helps to prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tofu, do not overcrowd the pan. This will help to prevent the tofu from steaming instead of searing.
  • Serve the tofu immediately: Tofu is best served immediately after cooking. This will help to ensure that it is hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

This recipe for tofu with tomatoes and balsamic vinegar is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tofu is marinated in a flavorful balsamic vinegar marinade and then cooked until crispy. The tomatoes add a fresh and tangy flavor to the dish, and the balsamic vinegar glaze adds a touch of sweetness. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
