in pan

  • If using pan, Put 1 tsp butter/ghee/oil on pan and place the Tofu pieces, bring to a golden color on both sides.
  • In same pan, remove tofu pieces, add 1 tsp Butter/ghee, add chopped onions and make them pink and translucent.
  • Add vegetables that have been tossed in left over marinade and cook on high till done. We want vegetables to be crisp yet tender.
  • Toss with Tofu and serve.

Notes

Please use Extra Firm Tofu. Its important that the vegetables be same thickness as Tofu, otherwise they will not cook evenly on grill.When placing tofu on skewers or pan, leave marinade behind and toss the vegetables lightly in the marinade before grilling or putting on pan.You can use any vegetables that you want when using the pan method, as thickness of vegetables is not a factor, in the pan method.
