FOR SAUTEEING
- Heat a wok or wide pan with oil. Add the onion, and saute until tender or translucent.

Notes
- Get the fried tofu at any Asian grocery.
- If you’re buying fresh tofu make sure to get the firm texture. Slice them about 1/2 an inch thick. Drain and pat dry the tofu with a paper towel (make sure they’re completely dry).
- Heat a pan with oil, add the tofu, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Carefully flip the tofu, and avoid breaking them.
- Cool and cut them into cubes.

Hi there! Nice to meet you. My name is Jen.
I’m a mom of 2 wonderful girls. I love to prepare and cook home-cooked meals. Cooking and planning your meals might sound like another chore added to your already long list of things to do. Believe me, I’ve been there. However, cooking more meals at home is worth all the effort. After years of cooking for my family and teaching culinary classes, I can honestly say that I have more control over the quality of the ingredients I use. That means I’m eating a lot better. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring and you don’t have to eat the same thing repeatedly. There are ways we can do and naturally enhance the flavor of our food and enjoy home-cooked meals.
