This dish is highly adaptable! You can swap out the firm tofu for tempeh or even chicken if you prefer. The spices can be adjusted based on your heat tolerance, and feel free to add in any seasonal vegetables you have on hand. For storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, simply add a little water in the pan to prevent drying out.
