Frequently Asked Questions

Silken tofu is too delicate for this method; extra-firm tofu holds its shape best when sautéed.

The chili flakes add mild heat, but you can adjust the amount or omit them to suit your preference.

It's delicious over rice, quinoa, or with crusty bread to soak up the chimichurri.
