Directions Simple Pan-Fried Tofu
Directions
-
Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3 to 5 pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes, drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
Cut tofu into 2x4-inch strips about 1/4-inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook tofu strips in the oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Stack tofu strips horizontally in a dish with sloping sides, like a teacup saucer.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet. Add green onions, cook and stir until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Spoon green onions over tofu while they are still sizzling. Coat with soy sauce. Let sit until tofu soaks up flavors, 3 to 5 minutes.
