"Want a flavor boost? Try our TOFU LOVER seasoning! You can even use frozen broccoli, or other kinds of tofu, like smoked tofu or extra firm tofu. If you want your tofu to turn out crispier, you can wrap it in a paper towel and put a heavy object (like a pan) on top to squeeze out more liquid, before you start cooking."
