3. Wrap and Steam: For added flavor, you can wrap the tofu mixture in cleaned banana leaves or parchment paper. This step is optional but adds a traditional touch. Steam the wrapped tofu mixture for a few minutes until it is partially cooked. If not using wraps, you can also simply steam the tofu mixture directly.

4. Grill for Flavor: Once steamed, remove the tofu from the wrap and place it on a grill or a hot pan. Grill or pan-fry the tofu for a few minutes on each side until it develops a golden brown crust and crispy edges.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the savory tofu pepes to a serving platter. Enjoy as a flavorful side dish or a main course. Serve hot and savor the unique blend of flavors!
