Ingredients:

  • 2 containers firm or extra firm tofu, pressed
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Preparation:

Slice each block of tofu into 4 or 5 slices.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Pour mixture over each piece of tofu in a shallow bowl or pan, and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and lightly grease a baking sheet. Carefully place each slice on the baking sheet and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake for 30 minutes, then rotate the sheet, if needed and drizzle with more marinade. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until liquid is almost dry.

One of the biggest challenges for me before turning vegetarian about a year ago was giving up tasty Chinese food. My favorites were spare ribs and sesame chicken. After trying this recipe and using it as a substitution for my Chinese food fix, I must say that it satisfied my old urges. I would also recommend using the tofu press from Tofuxpress to press and cook your tofu, makes the process sooo much easier. Great recipe!!!
