Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound firm tofu

1/3 cup vegetable stock

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

1 teaspoon brown rice syrup

1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

 

Rinse the tofu and, if necessary, cut it into 4 slabs that are about 1-inch

thick. Place the tofu pieces on a clean, folded tea towel on a flat surface,

like a cutting board or countertop. Cover with another clean, folded tea towel

and lay a cutting board or another flat object on top. Place a moderate weight

on the board (such as a large can of tomatoes) and leave to drain for about 30

minutes.

 

Meanwhile, in a baking dish just large enough to hold the tofu, stir together

the stock, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice syrup, granulated garlic, ginger, and

cumin. When the tofu has drained, place it in the marinade, cover the dish, and

place it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Turn the tofu pieces over

midway through the marinating time.

 

Preheat a conventional or toaster oven to 400F. Place the dish in the oven, and

cook for 30 minutes, then turn the tofu over and cook an additional 30 minutes.

The liquid should be completely absorbed and the tofu should have a nice dark

" crust. "

 

Eat immediately, or store in the refrigerator and use over the course of a few

days.

NOTES : This recipe turns plain tofu into a tempting finger-food snack or

sandwich ingredient. You can also add cubes to a green salad or stew or grate

it into a bowl of hot brown rice. Once you discover how easy and delicious this

is, you will no longer be tempted by expensive store-bought tofu.
