Cast Iron Sear + Buffalo Sauce: The 25-Minute Crispy Tofu Dinner You'll Make on Repeat

Derek Sarno demonstrates a foolproof cast iron pan-searing method that crisps up extra firm tofu before coating it in a classic Frank's RedHot buffalo sauce. The full meal comes together in under 30 minutes with roasted broccolini, dry-fried green beans, and brown rice. Perfect as a vegan game day appetizer or a quick weeknight dinner.
