Preparation
Step 1
Wrap the tofu in paper towels and place it on a platter. To press the tofu down, place a heavy item on top of it.
Step 2
Let the tofu sit for 15-20 minutes so the excess water can drain. Remove the paper towels from the tofu and chop it into 1-inch slices or cubes.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 5
In a shallow dish, place the konjac flour. Drain the tofu from the marinade and roll each cube in the flour until coated evenly.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the coated tofu cubes and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
Step 7
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and bay leaf. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
Step 8
Return the crispy tofu to the skillet with the mushrooms and toss everything together to combine. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
Step 9
Remove the bay leaf from the skillet and transfer the tofu and mushrooms to a serving dish.
Step 10
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy!
