Notes

Store-bought fried or baked tofu can also be used in this dish. They are easily available in Asian stores.
Other vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, beans, bell pepper, snow peas, etc can also be used.
It can be served in the main course with rice/ noodles or also enjoyed as a starter.
Adding salt to the stir fry is optional as the soy sauce is already salty and salt is added to the baked tofu too. Add salt only if required.
To bake tofu you can also marinate tofu cubes in soy sauce and pepper.
For best result, press tofu using a tofu press or wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and then press with something heavy.
