Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block extra firm organic tofu
  • 1 Tablespoon Starseed Kitchen Adobo spice
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil, olive oil or avocado oil


Instructions

  3. Place tofu cubes in a large plastic bag. Add 1 tablespoon of Starseed Kitchen Adobo spice. Toss well till all spice is covered on the tofu. 
  4. In a large non stick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add tofu cubes. Let brown on one side, then rotate. Repeat till tofu has browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. 
  5. Serve immediately or store for meal prep for up to 5 days.

Be sure to use extra firm tofu and press out excess water.
