Instructions
- Remove tofu block from the packaging and place on a plate or pan.
- Use a fork to break the tofu up into large chunks (it will be broken up further in the pan) and set aside.

- Bring the large skillet down to medium-low heat.

Notes
- Squeezing liquid from tofu: You can, but you do not have to, remove some of the liquid from the tofu before cooking. Tested it both ways and it turns out great either way. To remove some of the liquid prior to use you can simply wrap tofu in a clean dish towel and place a heavy book or cast iron skillet on top of it for 10-15 minutes. Then use according the recipe.
- Using soft or medium firm tofu: You can use these types of tofu if you want, but for best results we would recommend using extra firm.
- Serving suggestions: Serve on toast with sriracha, or salsa and avocado, or in a breakfast burrito.
