Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the tofu from sticking.
- To prepare the tofu: Drain the tofu and use your palms to gently squeeze out some of the water. Slice the tofu into thirds lengthwise so you have 3 even slabs. Stack the slabs on top of each other and slice through them lengthwise to make 3 even columns, then slice across to make 5 even rows (see photos).
- Line a cutting board with a lint-free tea towel or paper towels, then arrange the tofu in an even layer on the towel(s). Fold the towel(s) over the cubed tofu, then place something heavy on top (like another cutting board, topped with a cast iron pan or large cans of tomatoes) to help the tofu drain. Let the tofu rest for at least 10 minutes (preferably more like 30 minutes, if you have the time).
- Transfer the pressed tofu to a medium mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and tamari. Toss to combine. Sprinkle the starch over the tofu, and toss the tofu until the starch is evenly coated, so there are no powdery spots remaining.
- Tip the bowl of tofu over onto your prepared baking sheet and arrange the tofu in an even layer. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing the tofu halfway, until the tofu is deeply golden on the edges. Use as desired.

CRISPY BAKED TOFU FINGERS/NUGGETS (LOW FAT)
A great tasting, vegetarian alternative to chicken fingers, these tofu versions are a real (healthful) treat. These make a nice snack, appetizer, or main course if served along a nice salad -- also great in packed lunches! Serve with your favourite dipping sauce such as teriyaki, ranch, BBQ, etc. I've served to both kids and adults with positive results so I figured I'd share the recipe. :) ***note*** Prep time listed is marinating time.

Steps:
- Wisk together tamari (or soy sauce), teriyaki, and mirin (or vinegar/sugar) Set aside.
- Cut tofu into 1/2 inch slices and then each slice into half lengthwise to get "fingers." If making "nuggets", cut tofu into 1 inch cubes. Place cubes or fingers into tamari marinade and place in fridge for at least an hour. (the longer you leave it, the more intense the flavour -- sometimes I make this ahead the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight)
- After marinating, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove tofu from marinade and shake off excess marinade. Place Shake 'n Bake mix in shallow dish or plate and coat each piece of tofu with the crumbs making sure to coat all sides. (press the tofu down into the mix to make sure it sticks well)
- Place breaded tofu on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray and bake in oven for 10 minutes, flip tofu, then bake another 10 or until golden and crispy.
- Serve with BBQ sauce, ranch, marinara, teriyaki or any other sauce you desire! :).

CRISPY BAKED TOFU
From the Daily Herald. Joe Yonan is a food writer whose recipes I really like. I have not made this one yet, but am willing to bet it is good. Yonan says the freezing creates a much more satisfying texture to the tofu, and it also absorbs more of the marinade. The baked tofu can be eaten right away with veggie sides, or it can be cooled and used in salads, stir-fries or other dishes. Freezing time for the tofu is not included in the prep time.

Steps:
- Leave the tofu in its packaging and freeze for at least 24 hours and up to 1 week. Transfer to the refrigerator and allow to defrost for one day. Once it has defrosted, remove it from the package and drain, then wrap in it paper towels, hold it over the sink and press with your hands to remove much of the liquid.
- Preheat oven to 350 deg.
- Cut the tofu into 1 inch cubes.
- Press or finely mince the garlic, mix together with all other ingredients in a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Add the tofu cubes and gently toss to combine with the marinade.
- Bake for 45 minutes, turning the tofu three or four times, until the tofu is browned and most of the marinade is absorbed or evaporated.
- Serve immediately or cool and refrigerate for up to a week in an airtight container.
CRISPY LOW-FAT TOFU
This is more a technique than a recipe, but I've found it a GREAT way to get the texture & taste of the kind of fried/gilled tofu that works well on sandwiches, in Vietnamese and noodle dishes, etc. I'll post several of my favorite soaks/braises for this at some point.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu and slice it into three fillet-sized slices, long-ways.
- Now press these briefly, even just by hand. You want to get the overabundance of water out, but not all of it.
- Place the fillets in a bag, preferably not touching one another, but this isn't essential.
- Freeze until thoroughly frozen through. This usually takes overnight or all day.
- Take out a slice when you want to use it, and microwave it for 1-2 minutes. Drain the water, cut it into cubes or leave it as a fillet, and microwave it for another 1-2 minutes.
- Heat1 tsp oil per fillet or so, some (2-3 tbs) water, l and, if you like, some aromatics in a non stick skillet or wok.
- Add the hot tofu, toss to be sure the small amount of oil coats a bit, then cook.
- Press down on the tofu each time you flip the cubes with your spatula, releasing a little of the water or marinate each time.
- The tofu will get quite golden and crisp as a result of having some water left in it and microwaving. It's really cool, just try a few times to get the hang of the pressiing part.
- Add braising liquids or flavorings as desired.
