• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Pour the soy sauce over the vegetables and stir in the ground cumin, ground paprika, and black pepper.

Step 8

Continue to cook for about 5 more minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors and become lightly golden.
