  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will help to remove excess moisture and make the tofu more flavorful.
  • Marinate the tofu. This will help to add flavor and depth to the tofu.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tofu from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Don't overcook the tofu. Overcooked tofu will be tough and chewy.
