Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preparing my protein. If I’m using chicken, I cut it into bite-sized pieces; if it’s tofu, I press it and chop it into cubes. I usually let it marinate for a few minutes with a splash of soy sauce, which gives it such a savory depth of flavor. While that’s happening, I heat olive oil in my skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is nice and hot, I add my protein, cooking it until it’s golden brown and cooked through, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. The smell is absolutely heavenly!
