Protein Preparation: Let’s start with the preparation of the Tofu Bites! 1.1. Drain the extra liquid from the super firm tofu. 1.2. Cut the tofu into ¾” dice with a sharp knife (or any other desired shape) and place into a medium mixing bowl. 1.3. Add: 2 TBSP of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Juice from ½ lemon 4 cloves of garlic – grated 1 TSP of ground ginger 1 TSP of ground coriander 1 TSP of paprika 1 TSP of smoked paprika ½ TSP of ground pepper ½ TSP of salt Gently mix with a spatula until it is nicely combined. 2. Stir Fry: 2.1. Preheat fry pan on medium-high heat with 2 TBSP of frying oil and add: Stir fry with occasional stirring until you reach a nice sear on the top — the tofu is fully cooked (about 5 – 7 minutes). Tip: If you want to achieve a more meat-like texture, I recommend to stir fry for extra 8 – 10 minutes. 3. Serve Tofu Bites: 3.1. Add to you your pasta meal, salad, and more!
