I put it in a paper towel lined collandar, set another paper towel over it, and then layer a saucer on top. When all parts of the paper towel are wet with the sweat of the tofu, then I know I’m ready to cook. I “fry” mine (drizzled oil) much the way you do, but I toss it in corn starch until just coated. Then, I carry on with the recipe like you. The cornstarch really crisps up the outer tofu without a heavy breaded coating and leaves the inside light, fluffy, and moist. My family loves it. My meat eaters say it tastes like fried chicken, and my vegans and vegetarians say it’s simply delicious. I can’t wait to try some of your sauces!

Thank you for your demonstration with the tofu. I not a lover of tofu, but someone gave me a package of tofu.

yes, but I would brown one side plain first, then add spices to ensure they do not burn. I hope you enjoy!

My son is always asking me to put a new sauce on the tofu and now I know where to find the perfect list for new sauce ideas 🙂

Seriously, my life is changed. My husband and I both cook, but he never wants to mess with tofu – he prefers working with tempeh. This was so simple and delicious – we will definitely do it again!!
