If you've opted to get tofu, pat tofu dry with paper towels, then crumble into pea-sized pieces. When the pan is hot, add 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) sesame oil, then tofu. Cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the beef, until golden-brown all over, 6-7 min. Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
