Notes
- If using a sizzling plate, heat the plate in a stove once very hot add butter and transfer the cooked tofu drizzle with calamansi and mayo before serving.
- Be careful handling the sizzling plate or cast iron as it can be very hot.
- You can use homemade vegan mayo or commercial mayo.
- Tip, if tofu is defrost longer hours it is so much easier to remove any excess water. No fancy tools needed using both palms can do the trick and always use firm or extra firm tofu when frying.
