Method
- Pat the tofu dry with kitchen paper and cut it into cubes.
- Cook the tofu in a hot, oiled pan for 6–8 minutes until golden. Transfer to a plate.
- Stir-fry the chopped vegetables, garlic and ginger in the same pan for 5 minutes.
- Return the tofu to the pan, add the soy sauce, toss and serve with rice.
- Before serving, check: Let the pan warm up first. Leave the cubes undisturbed for the first few minutes so a golden crust can form.
Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Pat tofu thoroughly dry before cooking. Wet tofu steams in the pan instead of browning.
- Let the pan warm up first. Leave the cubes undisturbed for the first few minutes so a golden crust can form.
- If the sauce tastes too salty or gets thick, add a splash of water. Taste tofu and vegetables together before final seasoning.
