Baked Tofu - Gayle

[Guest guest]

Thank you. I believe I used the wrong type of tofu. I want to try it this

weekend, if I have a chance.

HI Jenn:

 

When I make baked tofu I buy the Chinese style firm or extra firm tofu and I

freeze it.

I though it and press it.

To press tofu take out of package squeeze out as much liquid as I can then I

take the tofu and wrap it in paper towels, place it in a low pan with sides

and cover it with a cutting board, then I take a couple of my daughters text

books and place them on top of the cutting board.

High School text books are nice and heavy. I leave it like this for 30 to

45 minutes.

The unwrap the tofu and I slice it the long way about a 1/4 inch thick.

Now you can marinate it.

I usually take some soy sauce and a touch of oil a little water, some ground

ginger, chile powder, cumin, pepper, and cinnamon and pour it over the tofu

let it marinate for 30 minutes or so and then bake it. I bake it in a 300

to 350 degree oven it probably takes 45 minutes or so but I check it

periodically as you don't want it to be soggy. It should be firm when it is

done.
