  • Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu removes excess water, which helps it to absorb the marinade and sauce.
  • Marinate the tofu: Marinating the tofu in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil adds flavor and helps to tenderize it.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat: This will help to prevent the tofu from burning.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help to prevent the tofu from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the tofu immediately: Warm tofu is best served immediately, so that it can be enjoyed at its peak flavor.
