Method

Tips

• For a crispier tofu, press the tofu for 20 minutes before cubing to remove excess moisture.
• Feel free to add a splash of soy sauce for an extra umami kick, provided it respects dietary restrictions.
• For a variation, consider using brown rice for a nuttier flavor and additional fiber.
