- 12 cup coconut milk (or sub other milk and coconut oil)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil.
- Add the tofu cubes, turning after about two minutes and repeating until each side is lightly browned.
- Lightly sprinkle with salt and remove from heat, but youll be adding the sauce to the pan with the tofu.
