Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press the 1 block tofu for 15-20 minutes using a clean kitchen towel and weight to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Tip: Pressing ensures the tofu firms up and absorbs flavors better.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the tofu cubes in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on the bottom, then flip and cook 3-4 minutes more until golden on all sides. Tip: Don’t stir too early—this helps the tofu develop a crisp exterior.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium, add 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 bell pepper (diced into 1/2-inch cubes), stirring frequently. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the bell pepper is tender-crisp and the tofu is well-coated in sauce.
  4. Step 4: Remove the skillet from heat, then stir in 1/2 cup pico de gallo and 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled). Tip: Add cheese off the heat to prevent it from melting into a greasy clump.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately, tossing the stir-fry to combine, and garnish with additional pico de gallo and feta if desired.
