Instructions

1. 1.
   Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Place the tofu cubes between two plates or a tofu press, and let them sit for about 15 minutes. This helps achieve a firmer texture during cooking.
2. 2.
   In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, lemon juice, and grated ginger. This will form the marinade for the tofu. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. 3.
   Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
4. 4.
   As the tofu cooks, keep an eye on the color and texture. The goal is a crispy exterior with a tender interior. If the tofu starts sticking, reduce the heat slightly and allow it to release naturally before flipping.
5. 5.
   Once the tofu is cooked to your desired crispiness, transfer it to a serving plate. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the top for an extra burst of flavor, and serve immediately for the best texture.
