Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by draining and pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture, which is critical for achieving a good texture. Cube the tofu into bite-sized pieces and set aside. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, grated ginger, and lemon juice until combined. This marinade will impart a tangy, refreshing flavor to the tofu.
2. 2.
   Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the cubed tofu, spreading it out to ensure even cooking. Allow the tofu to cook without stirring for about 3-4 minutes until it begins to turn golden brown on the bottom.
3. 3.
   Pour the lemon-ginger marinade over the tofu, ensuring each piece is well coated. Stir the tofu gently to avoid breaking the cubes, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. The liquid should start to reduce and slightly thicken, clinging to the tofu pieces.
4. 4.
   Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is evenly golden brown and the marinade fully absorbed, about another 3 minutes. If you find your tofu sticking, reduce the heat slightly and add a splash of water to deglaze the pan.
5. 5.
   Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. If the tofu becomes too dry, consider adding a touch more olive oil before serving. Enjoy as a main dish or over a bed of steamed rice for a satisfying meal.
