Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 pound extra firm tofu light

5 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1/2 cup low-salt soy sauce

1/4 cup dry white wine ~or~

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

1/4 cup minced scallions -- plus

2 tablespoons minced scallions -- divided

2 teaspoons minced garlic

2 teaspoons minced ginger

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon chili paste with garlic (optional)

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

2 cups sliced cherry tomatoes

or diced large tomatoes

 

1. Drain the tofu and slice it into half-inch thick slabs. Place the tofu on a

clean kitchen towel and cover with another clean towel. Put a cutting board on

top of the tofu and press it down firmly and evenly. Then place a heavy weight,

such as an iron skillet or several cans, on top of the board and let the tofu

drain at least 20 minutes.

 

2. To make the barbecue sauce, combine the remaining ingredients, except 2

tablespoons of the scallions and the tomatoes, in a small bowl. Stir the mixture

well to dissolve the honey.

 

3. Cut the drained tofu into half-inch cubes and place it in a shallow baking

dish. Pour in the barbecue sauce and carefully toss to completely coat the tofu.

Cover and refrigerate the tofu at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days. Stir several

times as the tofu marinates.

 

4. Preheat the oven to 375F. Bake the tofu, turning carefully several times,

until the tofu begins to firm and turn dark brown, about 1 hour. Stir in the

tomatoes and cook another 15 minutes. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the

reserved scallions. For a firmer texture, bake the tofu only 45 minutes, then

chill overnight. Just before serving warm the tofu with the tomatoes and the

remaining marinade in a skillet.
