[Food Stop] Tofu Recipe Request

Hi there!

I received a request to post more recipes, more specifically a tofu recipe, so here it is! My mom used to make this Tofu & Onion dish, replacing the beef from her carnivore recipe when she wanted to serve a vegetarian meal. When she cooked, she never really had a "recipe" because it's you know, a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and her dishes would come out perfectly! I think I do them justice, although they're never exactly how mom cooks them...
Start with firm to extra firm tofu and let it drain on a paper towel before frying.  It is important to have the tofu as dry as possible so that you don't get oil splattering because of the excess liquid!
The final dish is so easy once the tofu is fried.  Slice some onions and saute them in some oil.  Place the fried tofu into the pan, add some soy sauce and water with a squeeze of some lemon, and finish it with salt & pepper to taste.  Cook through for a quick and easy meal that's healthy, especially if you serve it over brown rice with steamed vegetables on the side!
Does anyone have a dish that they make without a recipe? Let me know because I cook without recipes a lot of times. Thank you for visiting and being a part of my journey!

See you later!
