  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Fry the coated tofu cubes in a single layer for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  5. In a separate saucepan, combine sun-dried tomatoes, cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
