Garlic, Lemon, Ginger Baked Tofu

Let’s review rule #1 for baked tofu- Freeze firm or extra firm tofu, thaw, drain, press for 15 minutes, and slice. This must be obeyed, or else you won’t be making very good tofu.

Marinade Ingredients:
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 TB honey
  • 2 TB soy sauce
  • fish sauce (just a few splashes)
  • 1 TB peanut oil
  • 1 TB seasoned rice vinegar (unseasoned will be fine)
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 TB ground ginger (1 TB fresh, grated, if you have it)
Whisk the marinade together. Add 1 cup of water and mix well. Pour a little into a Pyrex baking dish. Add the tofu and pour the rest of the marinade on top. Bake, uncovered, and 375 for 45 minutes-one hour. Flip each piece over after 20 minutes or so. It will be done when all of the liquid is absorbed.
