Method
0 of 8 done- Begin by draining the tofu and patting it dry with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture. This will help the crust adhere better and allow for a crisper texture.
- Slice the tofu into two even slabs, approximately 2 cm thick each.
- In a small bowl, combine the cayenne pepper, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to create your spicy seasoning.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the tofu slices, pressing it gently to ensure it sticks well to the surfaces.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat until it is shimmering but not smoking.
- Carefully place the tofu slices into the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the tofu steaks from the pan and let them rest for a minute before serving.
- Serve the cayenne-crusted tofu steaks with a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
