Cook the Tofu
Line another plate with a paper towel.
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Add tofu to hot pan and stir occasionally until golden brown, 7-9 minutes.Don't rush cooking the tofu; it will need the complete cooking time for the correct crispness.Remove from burner. Transfer tofu to towel-lined plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve. -
