  3. While tofu is pressing wash corn and cut from the cob using a sharp knife.
  4. Heat skillet over medium heat, add oil and corn to pan, sauté, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from pan, cover and set aside.
  5. Roast your poblano pepper over the flame of a gas range or in your oven using the broiler until soft and blistered.
