Savory Tofu Recipes

ASIAN STYLE SAVORY BAKED TOFU

Asian Style Savory Baked Tofu image

This was absolutely delicious! It will make a tofu lover out of you yet (I hope!). I let my tofu sit overnight in the marinade, and then baked it, and I thought it turned out great. As I describe below, be sure to really "press" the excess liquid out of your tofu to ensure that it absorbs the marinade. Don't be afraid to put something really heavy on it to draw out the moisture. Cast iron pan works great! Source: Sunday Moosewood cookbook

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

12 ounces firm tofu
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons finely minced onions
1 teaspoon grated fresh gingerroot
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon hot chili paste, to taste (optional)

Steps:

For best results, tofu should be "pressed" in order to remove excess liquid and absorb the flavors of the marinade.
Press tofu block between two plates, weighted down with a cast iron pan, large bowl of water, or heavy cans, for about 30 minutes.
Halfway through, you may dump the plate of water and flip the tofu block.
To make marinade, simply whisk together the ingredients in a bowl.
After tofu is pressed, cut the block into small cubes or triangles.
Place pieces of tofu into baking dish, and cover with the marinade.
The tofu can sit overnight in the marinade, or can be prepared right away.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Bake tofu about 35-45 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Tofu can be eaten by itself, or added to stir-frys, salads, soups or sandwiches.

Slice tofu into slabs about 1/2-inch thick. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. The skillet should be large enough to hold all the tofu in one layer. Heat oil on medium heat. Place tofu slices in the skillet and cover evenly with balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. Let it cook for a couple minutes, give the pan a shake. Sprinkle on the cilantro, cook another minute, and then flip each piece of tofu.
You should see the tofu has started to brown on the first side. Continue to sauté, shaking the pan periodically, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Turn the tofu again and add more browning to the first side. When is done, both sides should be nice and dark, and full of flavor.
