Recipe type: Main
Serves: 3-4 servings
Ingredients
  • 16 oz block extra firm tofu (NOT silken), frozen for at least 3 hours (do not thaw!)
  • 3-4 cups vegetable broth
  • ⅓ cup canola or avocado oil
Instructions
  1. Place the frozen tofu into a 2 quart sauce pan. Add just enough broth to cover the tofu (I only needed 3 cups) and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  2. Drain the broth and press the tofu. I place the tofu between two plates adding weight to the top. About 15 minutes is all it needs.
  3. Slice the tofu block in half, then slice into ¼ inch thick pieces.
  4. Heat half the oil in a heavy bottomed skilled, like a cast iron. Once shimmering, add half the tofu slices. Cook for 5 minutes, or until golden. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining tofu and oil.
  5. Serve in a stir-fry, curry, or tossed in your favorite sauce.
