Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by pressing the tofu for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Cut the pressed tofu into even cubes.
  3. Coat the tofu cubes lightly with cornstarch. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the tofu for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant. Then pour in vegetable broth, coconut milk, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Return crispy tofu to the skillet, stir gently to coat in the sauce, and simmer together for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  6. Serve hot over pasta, quinoa, or crusty bread, garnished with fresh herbs.
