Instructions

1. 1.
   Press the cubed tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a crispier texture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes under a weighted plate.
2. 2.
   In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, and grated ginger to create a marinade. Stir this until well mixed, immersing the tofu cubes fully, and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. 3.
   Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan as this helps in achieving even browning.
4. 4.
   Occasionally drizzle some of the leftover marinade while cooking if the tofu seems too dry. This enriches the flavor and helps caramelize the edges.
5. 5.
   Once cooked to a perfect golden caramelization, serve the tofu immediately while hot and fragrant. For added texture, garnish with toasted sesame seeds or freshly chopped scallions, if desired.
