- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
Optional Garnish:

Cooking Steps:
Step 1: Press Tofu
- Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object (like a cast-iron skillet) on top to press out excess water. Press for at least 15-20 minutes.

- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes, or longer for a more intense flavor. You can refrigerate it if marinating for an extended time.
Step 4: Cook Tofu
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated tofu cubes to the skillet, reserving the marinade.
- Cook the tofu until all sides are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Pour the reserved marinade over the cooking tofu, allowing it to coat the cubes evenly.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and caramelizes.
