Pan Fried Tofu with rainbow Bell Peppers is a quick, easy, vegan and gluten free tofu recipe. I cooked tofu to make it crispy and then added bell peppers and few spices to elevate the taste. This is my way of adding, healthy yet scrumptious vegan side dish to any main course.

Ask me, I can enjoy a bowl full of this delicious, aromatic and protein rich side anytime of the day. If you prefer, mix it with plain rice or eat on side with some grilled meat for lunch/dinner.

Quick Tip - Use Paper Towels to remove extra moisture from Tofu. This reduces the cooking time and also, water does not sputter when you add Tofu to preheated pan. It you do not have turmeric, just use red pepper powder, salt and crushed black pepper. Believe me it will still taste amazing. Just do not forget to add lemon juice (this is key ingredient here).
