Ingredients:
- 1 Package Tommy’s Vegetable Medley

This Recipe is: Dairy Free, Egg Free, Nut Free, Vegan, Vegetarian
Cuisine Type: Asian
Directions:
- Lay your tofu slices out and season both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. (Important: Make sure the tofu has been drained and patted dry with a paper towel first to avoid excessive splatter when cooking.)
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Continue to heat the oil until a light haze forms above the skillet.
- Gently lay the tofu slices in the skillet with a pair of tongs, being careful not to splash. Reduce heat to medium.
- Cook the tofu slices for 3-4 minutes per side, or until each side is gold and crispy. A splatter screen can sometimes be helpful to keep oil splatter clean-up to a minimum.
- Remove the crispy tofu slices from the skillet and use a paper towel or wire rack to drain the excess oil away. Set aside in a warm area for later.
- Once the tofu is set aside, cook Tommy’s Vegetable Medley according to the recommendations on the package.
- To assemble your bowl, add Tommy’s Vegetable Medley and top with crispy tofu, scallions and pickled ginger. Next, add a dash of your favorite Asian-inspired condiment and enjoy!
