5. Heat 2 tsp oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tofu and cook, stirring occassionally, until tofu is lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. (Should start to sizzle after about 1 1/2 minutes; adjust heat as needed.) Push tofu to sides of pan. Add 1 tsp oil and garlic to center and cook, mashing garlic into skillet, until fragrant, about 1 min. Stir mixture into tofu. Transfer to bowl and let cool for 10 mins.
6. Whisk remaining 2 tbs lemon juice, remaining 3 tbs oil, cayenne, and 1/2 tsp salt together in large bowl. Add drained tomatoes, soaked bulgur, cooled tofu, parsley, mint, scallions, and pine nuts and toss to combine. Cover and let sit untul bulgur is tender, about 1 hour.
