The Five Steps to Baked Tofu

Recipe called for:

• 2 tofu cakes, vacuumed packed. (10-12 oz)
• 2 T soy sauce
• 2 T cider vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2T chopped onions
• 1/2 c water
• 1/2 t minced, pealed, fresh ginger
• 1 t packed light brown sugar

I didn't pay attention and used one block of tofu. Grrr.  But I added 6 medium sized mushrooms and quartered them. The mushrooms kept it from being too salty but a second block would have been better.

I also did t have ginger so I used mint. Wish I had ginger.  Ginger is a great root to cook with.

Step One

Weigh down tofu to release liquid- 30 minutes.

Step Two

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step Three

 

Combine remaining ingredients in a 9X13 or 9X9 baking dish. Set aside.

Step Four

 
Cut tofu in 3 horizontal slices and then cut into squares (or triangles) and place in baking dish.  Turn to coat tofu with ginger sauce.

Step Five

 

Bake 35-45 minutes and turn several time.  Tofu is done when ginger sauce is absorbed and ginger sauce is gone. 

Step Five

Serve over rice.
