Crispy Tofu Ginger Steak

What comes to your mind when you think of tofu? From my experience, the first thing that comes to my mind is blandness. I think there has been one time where I’ve actually enjoyed tofu (no offence to any tofu lovers out there!). For those of us who aren’t so fond of it, I sought to share a tofu recipe that’s loaded with flavour and would entice even the pickets of eaters. Check out my go-to crispy tofu ginger steak recipe here.
