Ingredients
Instructions
-
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 15-20 minutes.
-
Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes or rectangles. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly over the tofu cubes.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed. Add sliced red and green bell peppers and onion. Sauté until tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
-
Return the cooked tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss gently to combine and heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve the Cajun Tofu hot over cooked rice, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
