our tofu first for this recipe I'm gonna be using 520 grams of from tofu and we can use it as it is but if you don't mind putting a little bit more effort and Love cover it with some paper towels and put anything heavy on top and just leave it for like 30 minutes this will help dry out the moisture and and give you a better texture but 30 minutes we don't have that much time our Hungry Birds at home are losing their patience so let's just cut it into cubes and Pat them dry with paper towels once that's done season it with some salt and pepper that's it so simple right what you want to dry out the moisture even more to get the best result then bring a hair dryer but if you get caught by your wife or Mom you could die seriously I almost died last year so if that happens I'm not responsible next broccoli take one or two broccoli and cut them into bite size pieces we're gonna need about 250 grams or 9 ounces without the stem for information besides this broccoli you could also
