Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for 15 minutes. This ensures a firmer texture when cooked.
2. 2.
   In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, and minced ginger. This mixture will serve as your marinade and glaze, infusing the tofu with vibrant flavors.
3. 3.
   Pour the marinade over the tofu cubes, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes, turning the pieces halfway to absorb the flavors evenly.
4. 4.
   Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, carefully add the tofu cubes. Cook on each side for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Reduce heat if tofu begins to brown too quickly.
5. 5.
   Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve immediately with a garnish of fresh lime wedges for an extra zing. If the tofu is too dry, drizzle some leftover marinade for added moisture and flavor.
