freezed, thawed and pressed
1
tsp
sea salt
½
tsp
pepper
¼
cup
tapioca flour
2
tbls
sesame oil

Instructions
Cut the tofu into one-inch cubes and set aside for the fresh cut sides to dry out.
In a large bowl combine the tapioca flour, sea salt and pepper.
Once the tofu is dry and has very little moisture, toss it in the tapioca flour mixture to achieve a light coating.
Add the sesame oil to a seasoned cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
Gently add the tofu to the skillet.
Turn the tofu as needed to obtain a nice golden color on all sides.
Add more oil after turning the tofu for a crispier texture. (optional)
Serve with thinly sliced cabbage, shredded carrots and pan roasted sliced jalapeños for some extra heat.
