Instructions

Creating Creamy ‘Marry Me’ Tofu is simple and straightforward. Just follow these steps for a delightful dish:

1. Prepare the Tofu: Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean towel. Place a heavy object on top to press out excess water for about 15 minutes.
2. Cut the Tofu: After pressing, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
3. Heat Oil: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
4. Sauté Onions: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, approximately 3-5 minutes.
5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Brown the Tofu: Carefully add the tofu cubes to the skillet, allowing them to brown slightly on all sides for about 7-10 minutes.
7. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, lemon juice, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes.
8. Combine Ingredients: Pour the sauce mixture over the browned tofu in the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.
9. Simmer: Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors and the sauce to thicken.
10. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
11. Garnish: Once cooked, transfer to a serving dish and drizzle with fresh basil or parsley for garnish.
