Cooking tips
- When roasting zucchini, avoid adding oil so that the natural moisture and deep, clean sweetness are fully enhanced.
- Do not overcook the tofu or it may become too firm and rubbery—aim for a golden exterior while keeping the inside soft and moist.
- Since both tofu and zucchini have already been seasoned, avoid overloading the sauce to maintain balanced flavor.
- Adding 2 tablespoons of water to the sauce helps reduce thickness, allowing the vegetables to breathe properly and ensuring the sauce blends well into the tofu and zucchini.
