💡 Chef’s Notes

Silken Secret: Use silken tofu for a smoother, velvet-like gravy; normal firm tofu works but silken has more texture.
Umami Boost: Add nutritional yeast to the tofu blend for better texture and a savory, \”cheesy\” taste.
Flavor Fix: If the tofu feels bland, whisk in Sriracha or extra spices to make it punchy.
Pro Aesthetic: Use a cast iron pan to achieve the perfect restaurant-style char
