INSTRUCTIONS
1. Gently press the tofu with a paper or fresh kitchen towel to remove water, then cube.
2. Fry tofu with olive oil on medium heat. allow each side to get golden brown. add the spice blend when the tofu is mostly crisp on all sides; toss for a few minutes. set aside to cool. this step incorporates the spices and avoids the raw spice taste. Also releases the flavors and ‘activates’ the turmeric and black pepper.
