marinade for tofu

Marinade for tofu

 

I tried it last night and liked it a lot:

 

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup maple syrup (I used brown sugar instead)

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 Tblsp ketchup

1 Tblsp dijon mustard

2 garlic cloves finely chopped (or some garlic powder)

6 ouces apple juice

some pepper if you like

 

Use extra firm tofu. Slice a little thiner than 1/2 inch. Put the tofu slices

on

one layer in a cookie sheet, and add the marinade. The longer it marinates, the

better it is (overnight is best). Then bake the tofu without the marinade at

about

400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Flip the tofu and bake for another 15 minutes

or

so (longer for harder tofu, less for soft tofu).

 

I could only marinate it for a couple hours, so I cooked the tofu with the

marinade

for about 20 minutes, then I drained it and broiled it to get it a little crispy

on

the edges. While baking, I sprinkled quite a bit of nutritional yeast on it

too,

and it was delicious. We used it for sandwiches, but it would also be good as

it

is, served with some leftover marinade on top. I think it would be perfect for

cooking on a barbecue too!

 

Enjoy!
