Notes
- Tofu Pressing: Don’t skip pressing the tofu; it’s key for crispy results and better flavor absorption.
- High Heat is Key: Ensure your pan is hot before adding ingredients to achieve proper stir-frying, not steaming.
- Customizable Veggies: Feel free to add or swap in your favorite quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas, carrots, or baby corn.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
