The Garlic Soy Bowl
🌿 Tofu Simplified
Tofu cubes gently warmed in garlic and soy sauce — a simple, flavourful introduction to cooking with tofu.
Ingredients
- ½ block (about 150 g) firm or soft tofu, cubed
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and garlic in a small pan over medium-low heat for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cubed tofu. Do not stir — let it sit 1 minute to warm and lightly firm up.
- Pour in the soy sauce. Gently turn the tofu to coat.
- Cook for a further 5–7 minutes until heated through and lightly golden.
Estimated Nutrients
Tip: Do not stir immediately when the tofu hits the pan. Letting it sit undisturbed for one minute is the key to good flavour and texture.
