Vegan Fried Tofu Steak

16 oz extra firm tofu (I used House Foods)
garlic salt
ginger powder
low sodium soy sauce (I used Japanese soy sauce)
olive oil

Cut the tofu in half so the block is still the same size but half the thickness. Rub in a light sprinkling of garlic salt and ginger powder on both sides. Coat the bottom of a frying pan with olive oil. Add two splashes of soy sauce and set tofu on top of soy sauce. Bring to a sizzle and fry for 3 minutes. Lift tofu, add more olive oil another splash of soy sauce, flip and fry an addition 3 minutes. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels. If eaten right away tofu is softer. If refrigerated, tofu has a chicken strip like texture.
Serving suggestions: As is, replacement of bread in a sandwich or burger, with vegan spicy mayo dipping sauce, or with melted vegan cheese on top.
