for a thoroughly delicious sautéed tofu, cube up a 1/4 pack of tofu (1cm or so), pan fry until half way done, then put in 1 or 2 cloves of garlic (crushed or chopped fine), and cracked black pepper, fry until tofu is golden in the meantime combine 3/4 - 1 of a teaspoon of cumin powder, less than quarter teaspoon of turmeric, bit of a dash of dried thyme (about 1/4 teaspoon or less) salt to taste combine it with enough water to make a loose paste, maybe 4 - 5 tablespoons, needs to be wet enough to cover tofu, any excess water will evaporate in the pan add to tofu, cook out the spices and evaporate the water, once ready remove from pan and consume, for a delicious sweet twist add some red capsicum in with the tofu at the start *att: quantities are very rough guesses, adjust everything to taste
