Ingredients
- 8 ounces firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 cups grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or to taste
Instructions
- Wrap the block of tofu in a kitchen towel or paper towels, bringing up the sides and pressing down lightly. Be careful not to press down too much as this could squeeze out all the water and make your tofu chewy.
- Cut the block into cubes and pat gently once again with paper towels.
- Then heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a non-stick skillet.
- Once hot, add tofu carefully to the pan in one single layer. Allow the tofu to brown a little before turning it over. Sear the sides until golden in color. It will take about 15 minutes to cook the tofu properly. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Then the tomatoes. Cover with the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes. Then press the tomatoes with a spatula. Cook for a few more minutes.
- Add the tofu back to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finally, transfer everything to a plate and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Serve and enjoy!
