Equipment

  • Kitchen towel or papper towel, If you have a tofu presser use that. Also a baking pan

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Organic firm tofu I use the House foods brand
  • 2 Tbsp Nutrional yeast You can find it at any natural food store
  • 1 Tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 Tsp Turmeric
  • 1 Tsp Finely grind black pepper
  • 1 Tsp Cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • 1. First remove the tofu from the container drain all the excess water from the the tofu, cut in half  and place over the paper towels or kitchen towel( if you are using the tofu presser its faster), cover it and and place something hard over it such as a can or a cast iron if you have one. Let the tofu release all the water with the towel around 20 minutes.
     2. After the tofu is dry, heat the oven at 350°F ( 175°-180°C) degrees, prepared the baking sheet and have it ready  for the tofu to be place and cook in it.
    3. After the tofu is done drying  cut into small cubes( or long rectangles) and place in a bowl, mix all the spices and cover all the tofu. Place the tofu onto baking sheet and put in the oven, cook for 20 minutes turning it every 5 minutes to get a crust on the sides. 
    This tofu can be added to stir fry, just plain or mixed any way you like. 
    Enjoy!!
