Preparation
1
Pat the tofu block dry with paper towels. Cut it into 1-inch cubes.
2
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside.
3
While tofu cooks, trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears. You can either steam the asparagus for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp, or blanch them in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to retain their vibrant color. Drain well.
4
In a large bowl, whisk together the juice from the whole lemon, 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing.
5
Add the cooked asparagus and crispy tofu to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is coated.
6
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, protein-rich meal!
