Instructions
- 1
Wrap the pressed tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly, or press between two plates weighted with a heavy pan for 10 minutes, until most surface moisture is expelled. Crumble the tofu into rough, uneven pieces roughly the size of scrambled egg curds ā a mix of small and medium chunks gives the best texture.

Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the cumin seeds and cook for about 30 seconds, until they sizzle and turn a shade darker ā watch closely, as they can burn quickly.
