Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by pressing the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu into evenly sized cubes, about ½-inch thick. In a bowl, lightly coat the cubes with a sprinkle of cornstarch for a crispier texture.
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the tofu cubes, fry undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until they form a beautiful golden crust, then flip and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes until crispy.
- In a separate saucepan, pour a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and let them soften for a minute before adding the cream or coconut milk. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Once the sauce is rich and creamy, gently add the crispy tofu to the saucepan. Toss the tofu in the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cook together for 2 minutes.
- Transfer your crispy tofu in creamy sun-dried tomato sauce to serving plates immediately. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs like basil or parsley if desired, and enjoy right away.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To maintain crispiness, keep tofu separate from sauce until ready to serve. For longer storage, freeze the tofu separately. Reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness.
