Ingredients

  • 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  3. Add Tofu and Season: Add the cubed tofu to the skillet, followed by soy sauce, nutritional yeast, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat the tofu evenly.
  4. Cook: Fry the tofu for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm as a snack or part of your meal.
