👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️

• Firm tofu 350g

• 1 head of garlic

• 1 sprig of rosemary

• Sunflower oil, as needed

  • Garlic powder 1 teaspoon

  • Onion powder 1 teaspoon

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut the firm tofu into blocks and make diagonal cuts on both sides to help it absorb flavor. Peel the garlic.

2. Pour sunflower oil into a pan, using more than usual. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain the oil. Continue to fry the garlic until golden brown, then remove and drain the oil.
