PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of Savoury Mini Tofu And Carrot Stir-Fry Box:
- Cube The Tofu: Begin by patting the firm tofu dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Cut it into small, bite-sized cubes for even and quick cooking.
- Heat The Pan: Add ½ teaspoon of olive oil to a non-stick skillet and place it over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm up before adding the tofu to ensure it crisps properly.
- Sauté The Tofu: Place the tofu cubes into the pan in a single layer. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally until each side is lightly golden and crisp.
- Add The Carrot: Stir in 1 tablespoon of grated carrot and cook for 1 additional minute to slightly soften it while maintaining a bit of crunch for texture.
- Season And Cool: Drizzle 1 teaspoon of reduced-sodium soy sauce evenly over the tofu and carrot mixture. Stir well to coat everything, then remove from heat. Let it cool completely before transferring to your meal box or container.
