Cooking Tips
  • Pat tofu very dry—this ensures crisp browning.
  • Cook tofu undisturbed for the first 2 minutes on each side.
  • Add garlic after browning tofu to avoid burning.
Storage Tips
  • Tofu stays crisp for 24 hours; re-crisp in a pan, not microwave.
  • Keep cherry tomatoes fresh and uncut if meal-prepping.
