Ingredients
- 1 lb. tofu, firm or extra firm
- 1/3 cup low sodium liquid aminos
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon ginger root
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Remove tofu from package and rinse. If tofu crumbles easily, press to remove excess moisture. Cut each block of tofu into ¾” cubes.
- Toss tofu with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
- Spread out tofu on a baking sheet and bake for about fifteen minutes. Tofu is now recipe ready or may be used as is, sprinkled on top of salads, grain, or vegetable dishes.
Notes
Other shapes may be cut and marinated for different presentations. Large slices can be used for sandwiches. Triangles or smaller square or rectangular slices work well for plate presentations. Add a few drops of liquid smoke to marinade if desired. For crisper tofu increase temperature or bake longer.
