Baked Tofu Ingredients
- 1 lb extra firm tofu
- Marinade:
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp Tamari soy sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger OR 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 Tbsp minced fresh garlic OR 1/2 tsp powdered garlic
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- pinch cayenne
- fresh ground black pepper
Marinating and Baking the Tofu:
- Put all the marinade ingredients in a jar, screw the lid on tight, and shake until well mixed
- Press the block of tofu between an old dishtowel or paper towels to remove any excess water
- Slice the tofu in 1/2 inch slices, and lay side-by-side in a flat baking pan
- Spread the marinade over and under the tofu slices
- Cover and marinate 1 hour or more in the fridge, turning once or twice if possible
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
- Drain off the excess marinade
- Bake 30 minutes
- Turn over halfway through the baking
- Less baking time, if it looks very done halfway thruough
- Broil for a few minutes on each side to give the baked tofu a crusty finish
