💡 Pro Tips
- ✓For quicker preparation, press the tofu for 15-20 minutes before shredding to remove excess moisture.
- ✓Sauté the onions and garlic while the tofu bakes to save time and build flavor.
- ✓If you don’t have tomato paste, use crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce as a substitute.
- ✓To enhance texture, consider air-frying the shredded tofu instead of baking for a crispier result.
