Baked Peanut Butter Tofu - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    750 g extra firm tofu (I have used 500g succesfully)
    1/4 cup peanut butter
    1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
    1/4 cup boiling water
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    1/2 teaspoon vinegar
    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
    2 teaspoons maple syrup
    1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
Preparation
    Press as much moisture out of the block of tofu as you can.
    Mix all other ingredients in a shallow baking dish.
    If your marinade ingredients are not blending well together, try warming them just a little in the microwave. This will soften the peanut butter a bit and they should all blend well together.
    Cut tofu into approx 1/4 inch (1 cm) slices.
    Lay the tofu slices into the marinade and carefully turn to coat all pieces evenly.
    Place into fridge to marinade for at least 1 hour.
    bake at 180C (350F) for 25-30 minutes.
