Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by draining the tofu. Wrap it in a clean towel and press with a heavy object for 15 minutes.
- Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Toss tofu cubes in cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Fry the coated tofu for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute.
- Add vegetable broth and coconut milk, then sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Reintroduce the crispy tofu into the skillet and stir to coat with sauce. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped basil or parsley and serve immediately, optionally over pasta, rice, or quinoa.

Notes
Pressing tofu properly and adjusting seasoning gradually enhances texture and flavor. Fresh herbs elevate the dish beautifully.
