ASIAN STYLE SAVORY BAKED TOFU



Asian Style Savory Baked Tofu image

This was absolutely delicious! It will make a tofu lover out of you yet (I hope!). I let my tofu sit overnight in the marinade, and then baked it, and I thought it turned out great. As I describe below, be sure to really "press" the excess liquid out of your tofu to ensure that it absorbs the marinade. Don't be afraid to put something really heavy on it to draw out the moisture. Cast iron pan works great! Source: Sunday Moosewood cookbook

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces firm tofu
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons finely minced onions
1 teaspoon grated fresh gingerroot
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon hot chili paste, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • For best results, tofu should be "pressed" in order to remove excess liquid and absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Press tofu block between two plates, weighted down with a cast iron pan, large bowl of water, or heavy cans, for about 30 minutes.
  • Halfway through, you may dump the plate of water and flip the tofu block.
  • To make marinade, simply whisk together the ingredients in a bowl.
  • After tofu is pressed, cut the block into small cubes or triangles.
  • Place pieces of tofu into baking dish, and cover with the marinade.
  • The tofu can sit overnight in the marinade, or can be prepared right away.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake tofu about 35-45 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Tofu can be eaten by itself, or added to stir-frys, salads, soups or sandwiches.

  • Slice tofu into slabs about 1/2-inch thick. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. The skillet should be large enough to hold all the tofu in one layer. Heat oil on medium heat. Place tofu slices in the skillet and cover evenly with balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. Let it cook for a couple minutes, give the pan a shake. Sprinkle on the cilantro, cook another minute, and then flip each piece of tofu.
  • You should see the tofu has started to brown on the first side. Continue to sauté, shaking the pan periodically, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Turn the tofu again and add more browning to the first side. When is done, both sides should be nice and dark, and full of flavor.

  • Saucy Tofu Noodles With Cucumbers and Chili Crisp. This saucy, spicy tofu recipe is loosely inspired by Sichuan dan dan noodles. Ultimately you're looking for a ground-meat-like texture, so don't worry about treating it delicately: squeeze out the moisture, tear it up, and sear it hard.
  • Gado-Gado Summer Rolls. These crunchy, veggie-packed summer rolls are a cross-cultural fusion of two street food icons: refreshing Vietnamese gỏi cuốn and Indonesian gado-gado.
  • Soondubu (Spicy Soft Tofu and Seafood Stew) With its fiery, bubbling , gochugaru- and kimchi-infused broth, we're of the mind that Korean soondubu can cure whatever ails you.
  • Saucy Tofu With Garam Masala. Here, pieces of tofu are coated in cornstarch and pan-fried until they develop a golden brown craggy crust that's begging to soak up all of the glossy garam masala sauce.
  • Creamy Sesame Noodles With Yuba. Ribbons of protein-packed yuba, or tofu skin, add a delightfully bouncy texture and nutty flavor to these quick, creamy noodles.
  • Easy Flatbread with Cauliflower and Tofu. The crazy-simple whole-grain and yogurt flatbreads in this recipe take a total time of about 30 minutes to make, and you do it right on the stovetop.
  • Miso Polenta with Spring Vegetables and Tofu. We used to think making polenta meant deciding between using butter and milk or taking a flavor hit and going with water, but we were wrong: Miso brings the umami and richness we crave without the dairy.
  • Silky Peanut Butter Dressing. Adding silken tofu to the base of this kid-approved snack both enriches the dip with a little added protein and lends it a satiny texture.
  • Sesame Noodles with Crispy Tofu. Five tablespoons may seem like a lot of rice vinegar, but you're using it to dress the crunchy cucumber topping as well as for a marinade for the tofu that then cooks down into a sauce for the soba noodles.
  • Curried Tofu Wraps. Most collard greens recipes involve cooking them, which makes sense: They're pretty sturdy, and heat softens them. But we're also into the crunch that the raw leaves bring to these wraps—and, speaking of sturdy, they won't fall apart like some lettuce wraps do.
