Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use firm tofu instead of extra firm?

Yes, but extra firm holds its shape best under high heat. If using firm, handle it gently so it doesn't crumble.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain the texture.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, provided you use tamari instead of standard soy sauce.
