Baked, Asian-style marinated tofu. Goes great with brown rice and steamed broccoli.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, or to taste (Optional)
- 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
Directions
Step 1
Lay tofu cubes onto several layers of paper towel; top with more paper towel. Place something heavy onto the tofu to squeeze excess water from the tofu; let sit until the tofu is drained, 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Step 3
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Toast sesame seeds in hot skillet until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Mix soy sauce, ginger, and sesame seeds together in a large pan. Marinate tofu in the soy sauce mixture until it absorbs some of the sauce, about 12 minutes per side.
Step 5
Spread marinated tofu onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake tofu in preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip, and continue baking until firm and heated through, about 15 minutes more.
Cook’s Note:
You can reserve the sesame seeds and simply sprinkle over the baked tofu if you prefer.
