Super easy and yummy. I removed the moisture from the tofu by placing heavy pans on top. I also chose to use both lettuce and cabbage for the garnish and added a small carrot for color. Didn't use the skewers but simply pan fried the tofu in a little bit of oil. Garnished with lime juice. Love this. Will make again and again.
