Answers:
I make this for my daughter all the time!.
1) Cut up tofu into small squares
2) Put them in a frying pan with a little olive oil
3) Add spices such as garlic and onion powder, basil, turmeric, and paprika
4) Toss to coat and pan fry until heated through!.
For more flavour, you can marinate tofu in any type of sauce for at least two hours!. (Now that my girl is a little older, she prefers if I let the tofu sit in the seasoning blend for a bit and then heat it on the stove)!. Instead of soy sauce, you can get Braggs Liquid Aminos!. It's soy sauce with NO sodium or preservatives and it tastes great!Www@FoodAQ@Com
