Tips
Coat tofu slices lightly in corn flour for a more crisp and golden texture.
If using silken-firm tofu, wrap the block between kitchen towels and place a small saucepan on top for 10-15 minutes to drain excess water, then pat dry and slice.
Adjust lemon or lime juice to preference, adding more for zing.
