Equipment

skillet

Ingredients

1/3 cup olive oil or canola oil or vegetable oil
1 package firm tofu
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/3 cup Trader Joe's Carolina Gold sauce add more or less depending on your preference

Instructions

Heat skillet to medium low-high*. Coat bottom of pan with oil.
Wash and slice tofu into rectangles into about 1/4 of an inch. Dry tofu on paper towel.
Add salt and pepper to tofu.
Carefully fry tofu in pan until one side is golden brown. Flip tofu and cook the other side until golden brown.**
Coat tofu with Trader Joe's Carolina Gold sauce. Cook for additional 5-10 minutes or until sauce has caramelized. Repeat process for other side.
Remove tofu from skillet. Serve tofu with fresh vegetables and rice.

Notes

*If using canola oil or vegetable oil, heat skillet to medium high.

**Cook times vary: If using olive oil, cook one side for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for 10 minutes. If using canola or vegetable oil, cook for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 10 minutes.

Frying tofu is chaotic sometimes. Cook times vary because of varying oils and heat settings. I used olive oil in this recipe to keep it healthy. I also did not deep fry the tofu for the same reason. Cook the tofu however you want it. The rule of thumb is to cook it until golden brown.
