Open the tofu pack and drain the water out, then wrap the tofu in a paper towel or two to drain the excess water out. Then slice the tofu into small cubes. Heat olive oil, seasonings i.e. garlic powder, onion powder, etc. soy sauce and salt to taste in a skillet. Stir fry the tofu until golden brown.

Step Four:
