Ingredients
Ingredients:
Marinade:
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (or plum sauce)

For cooking:
- 2–4 tablespoons ghee or extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Drain the tofu and wrap in kitchen towel to dry out. Let them sit there for a few minutes while you make the marinade.
- In a small bowl mix together, the marinade ingredients. Give the tofu a gentle squeeze then unwrap and put in the bowl with the marinade, turning over the pieces to coat well in sauce.
- Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat add 2 tablespoons ghee or olive oil. Put the tofu pieces in the skillet, reserving any leftover marinade in the bowl.
- Fry for 5 minutes. Drizzle the remaining ghee or olive oil in the skillet and flip the pieces over and fry for another 4-5 minutes, adding the leftover marinade over the tofu in the last 2 minutes. Serve hot!
- Goes great over my Grain Free Sushi Rice or with Plantain Flatbread.
