Cooking tips 💡

• To prevent tofu from breaking, avoid shaking it in a plastic bag with starch—instead, coat each piece individually on a tray for cleaner results.
• Let the pan-fried tofu cool on a kitchen towel before adding to the sauce to preserve moisture and prevent crumbling during cooking, keeping its chewy texture intact.
• Never cook broccoli with tofu from the start—adding it at the end ensures it stays crisp and retains its satisfying crunch.
