- Heat large, deep nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon canola oil, stir-fry tofu for 2-3 minutes, or until nicely browned. Add leftover marinade to skillet and mix well with tofu until warmed.
- Whisk together 1 tablespoon of What You Do With Tofu!™ Smoky Chipotle Sauce, 1 tablespoon canola oil and lime juice to create a light dressing.

Helpful tips:
- The more water you get out of the tofu, the more flavor will be absorbed from the sauce.
- The longer you marinate, the more intense the flavor.
- The longer you stir fry the tofu, the more the sugars in the sauce will caramelize and take on a roasted, sweet flavor.
