Spicy Baked Tofu

Spicy Baked Tofu

A spicy tofu marinade adds tons of flavor to this protein-packed dish. I don’t find it overly spicy, but I like some heat in my faux meat. Tofu is a concentrated protein, so you don’t need as much per serving as you would meat. This dish is great reheated! If you want to be really creative, try grilling your tofu for an even more delicious result! I serve this with wilted spinach and a fresh salad on the side.

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package tofu
  • 2 tablespoons Japanese low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 ½ tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • cooking spray

Directions

Step 1
Cover a plate with two paper towels. Place tofu on top and cover with two more paper towels. Place a heavy plate over the stack and let sit until liquid emerges from tofu, 5 to 30 minutes. Cut tofu into 1/2-inch strips.

Step 2
Combine soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger, and hoisin sauce in a large resealable plastic bag. Add tofu, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 3
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step 4
Remove tofu from marinade and shake off excess. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Discard remaining marinade.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until firm, 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
