Pan-Seared Tofu

5 stars my method. 1 or 2 stars their method. Sorry for sounding arrogant. 2 - 3 minutes per side will give you scrambled tofu.

My recommendation:

Use firm or extra firm. Squeeze it to remove some water if possible.

Heat cast iron pan to medium high. Lightly oil it. Put the tofu in and do not touch it for at least 5 minutes or it will stick and tear (I do 10 mins on the timer). Flip it over and repeat. I have done this many time over the years.

In my experience its more like 8 or 9 minutes on each side
