Pour the contents of the bowl into a tray lined with aluminum foil (can also grease the foil a little so that the tofu could easily come out), and arrange the tofu cubes on it. Pour the rest of the sauce we made over the tofu.6. Sprinkle a little coarse salt on the tofu cubes, and place in the toaster oven (or oven) for about 15 minutes until the tofu goldens and becomes crispier and lighter.7. Chop the onion and walnuts.8. Heat a little olive oil in a small pan and fry the onion with a little salt until it becomes translucent and softens.9. Add the nuts to the onion and continue to fry for another 3-4 minutes.10.
