Simple Baked Tofu - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 lbs extra firm tofu, pressed and each block cut into four slabs
2/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2/3 cup san-j tamari
aluminum foil
baking sheet
peanut oil
Preparation
-
Drain the tofu and then press gently between your hands to release water.
Slice into slabs and set aside.
Mix the vinegar and tamari in a bowl and set aside.
Lay the tofu slabs in layers in a large Ziploc bag.
Pour the marinade over them.
Seal bag and allow the tofu to marinate for about two hours, turning every half hour, or you can just allow it to marinate over night. Be sure to turn the bag at leat once though so the tofu is evenly marinated.
Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.
Spread the aluminum foil over the baking sheet and brush a thin film of oil over the foil.
Lay the tofu slabs on the foil and slide into the oven.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the tofu becomes firm, the edges are browning, and a nice brown crust has developed on the bottom of the slab. DO NOT TURN the tofu or it will not develop the crust.
