Ingredients

For The Fried Garlic:

  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or olive oil

For The Tofu:

  • 700 grams firm tofu, cut into rough squares
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) butter
  • 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 - 4 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

  • Remove excess water from the tofu by placing paper towels under and over it and gently pressing it with your palm. Slice the tofu into rough squares and season both sides with salt and pepper. Leave it for a few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick pan and add the crushed garlic. Stir-fry until lightly golden. Transfer the fried garlic and the oil into a bowl and set aside.
  • In the same pan over medium-high heat, add the oil, and when hot enough add the tofu squares. Fry both sides for about 5 minutes each or until crust forms. Slightly press the top of the tofu while frying to help it along with browning.
  • Put the butter and minced garlic into the pan and mix them with the tofu. Fry the garlic until lightly toasted.
  • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce and allow to boil. Let the liquid reduce and cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the tofu.
  • Serve hot topped with fried garlic and olive oil.
