Notes
- Tofu. Make sure to pick extra firm tofu. It's firmer than other tofu varieties and is less likely to fall apart during cooking.
- Storage. These easy Harissa Tofu Cubes leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Make sure to cool them first and then put them in a covered food storage container in the fridge.
- Reheat tofu in a pan or in a microwave until heated through.
- Freezing. You can also freeze tofu for up to 3 months. Defrost the container with tofu overnight in a fridge and then reheat in a pan until heated through.
