First I used Seasoned Mustard Greens. Next I added a bit of water and some Rice Wine to the Braggs to make the marinade because the frozen [pressed and drained very well] tofu drank the marinade as if it was nothing so I had to make a second batch. I wouldn't have tried that with the Tamari only with the Braggs because of salt. I used a LOT less than 4 Tbsp oil and the tofu was still crispy since it was very well pressed and drained. Great dish. The Tofu taste accented the Greens nicely.
