Notes

🥕This recipe can be adjusted with any herbs or seasonings you prefer. In a pinch, I like to use my favorite all-purpose seasoning - Spike. 
🥕Variations for seasoned herb rubs
A combination of dried seasonings and fresh herbs can add a lot of flavor to tofu. Here are a few of my favorites for different dishes:
  • Cumin, chile lime seasoning - perfect with Mexican or Southwestern-inspired dishes
  • Curry powder - adds an exotic flavor to any Thai or Indian recipe
  • Smoked paprika, cayenne, chile powder - ideal for a barbecue flavor
  • Sage, rosemary, thyme, sweet basil - holiday all the way!
🥕For salads, I like to cube the tofu into dice-sized pieces. Prepare and cook just like slices
