Ingredients:
- 2 blocks firm or extra firm tofu, well pressed
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp dry sherry
- 3 tbsp water
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Preparation:
Freeze the tofu overnight. Allow it to thaw, then press well to squeeze out all the extra water.
Place the tofu blocks in a lightly greased loaf pan, squeezing them as close together as possible.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour about 2/3 of this mixture over the tofu, and refrigerate the remaining 1/3. Cover the tofu in the pan, and allow to marinade overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
After marinating, pour the remaining soy sauce mixture over the tofu, then bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, basting the extra marinade over the tofu once or twice.
Remove the tofu from the oven and carefully flip it over. Bake for another 45 minutes, basting occasionally. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your homemade tofu turkey!
