8. Sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes, then add the bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for 5 minutes.

10. Simultaneously, add a dash of olive oil to a smaller skillet on medium heat.
11. Add the tofu to the pan once hot and allow the tofu to cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping with a spatula and repeating until each side is lightly browned and slightly crisp.
12. Transfer the tofu to the vegetables once both are cooked.
13. Serve the vegetables and tofu over the grits, top with chopped scallions and hot sauce if desired, and enjoy!
