This recipe offers a delightful way to prepare tofu, enhancing its flavor and texture with a simple yet effective marinade and baking process.
Wrap the tofu in paper towels and place it under a heavy skillet to press out excess moisture for about 15 minutes.
Pressing tofu removes water, allowing it to absorb the marinade better.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
Cut the pressed tofu into half-inch slices and place them in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
Let the tofu sit in the marinade for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the marinated tofu slices in a single layer.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake the tofu for 15 minutes, then flip the slices and bake for another 15 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
Flipping the tofu halfway through ensures even cooking on both sides.
Serve the baked tofu warm, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
Adding garnishes enhances the presentation and flavor of the dish.
