Step 1
Begin by slicing the tofu into 1cm thick strips and then slicing the strips in half diagonally into triangle shapes. If using a hob add a drizzle of oil of choice to a griddle or standard pan and once hot place the tofu slices in. Cook for a few minutes on each side. If using a BBQ spray the grills with some oil and cook the tofu the same way as above.
