Crispy Tofu Yums Recipe

Crispy Tofu Yums Recipe

  • 2 (16 ounce) packages extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup tamari
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
  1. Place 2 layers of paper towels on a flat work surface; arrange tofu slices on top. Cover tofu slices with a baking sheet. Place cans, jars, or book on top of the baking sheet. Press tofu for 15 minutes. Remove weights and discard accumulated liquid.
  2. Mix lemon juice, tamari, and garlic together in a bowl.
  3. Place tofu slices on the baking sheet; pour lemon juice mixture on top. Let tofu marinate for 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat; pour in olive oil. Add tofu slices in a single layer. Cover and cook until golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip tofu and continue to cook, covered, until golden brown on the second side, about 5 minutes more. Remove lid and cook uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining tofu.
