Instructions
- Marinate the Protein: In a bowl, combine the chicken or tofu with olive oil, turmeric, ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Cook the Protein: Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken or tofu and cook until fully cooked—about 7-10 minutes for chicken or until tofu is golden.

Notes
For best flavor, marinate the protein for longer and adjust seasonings to taste. Use fresh ingredients for optimal taste.
