Golden Marry Me Tofu

A crispy, savory tofu that’s quick to make and endlessly adaptable, perfect for a plant-forward dinner.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into cubes.
  2. In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Sprinkle cornstarch over the marinated tofu and toss to coat.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
