Pour in 3/4 cup of water and sprinkle with the black pepper.

Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
Substitutions: You can use firm tofu for a chewier texture or substitute potatoes with sweet potatoes for a sweeter twist. Add a pinch of salt or soy sauce if desired, though the recipe is designed to be light.
Tip: Pressing the tofu for at least 15 minutes before cooking helps it absorb the flavors better and improves the texture.
