recipe: Five Spice Seasoned Tofu

[Guest guest]

Another recipe from veganchef.com. This looks delicious - wonder if

it coulod be cooked on the barbecue? Its boiling hot here in the UK

so i think a BBQ soon would be a great idea. Anyone have any good

BBQ recipes?

Actually i've cooked something very similar to this before and it was

really nice with salad for lunch at work - and handy to take in too!

Five Spice Seasoned Tofu

 

1 lb. firm tofu

1 cup vegetable stock

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 T. toasted sesame oil

1 T. garlic, minced

1 T. ginger, minced

1 T. sesame seeds

1/2 t. Chinese five-spice powder

 

 

Wrap the block of tofu in a clean, lint-free towel, place it in a

colander, and place the colander in the sink. Place a plate over the

towel-covered tofu, then a heavy can or other weight on top, and

leave to press for 30 minutes. Remove the tofu from the towel and cut

into 1/2-inch thick slices. Lightly oil (or spray with oil) a 9 x 13-

inch baking pan, place the tofu slices in a single layer in the

baking pan, and set aside.

 

In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the remaining

ingredients, and pour the mixture over the tofu slices. Bake at 350

degrees for 15 minutes. Remove the baking pan from the oven,

carefully flip over the tofu slices, and bake an additional 10-15

minutes or until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Use as slices

or dice for use in salads, sandwiches, vegetable or grain side

dishes, or add to stir frys. Stores in an airtight container in the

refrigerator for 5-7 days.

 

Yield: 1 lb. or 8-9 slices
