Crispy Asian Baked Tofu
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside these little bites add great texture to salads (like my rainbow brown rice sesame bowl), stir-frys or sandwiches. I make a big batch and keep them in the fridge for easy meal prep throughout the week.
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 200kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound firm tofu look for non GMO project verified
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic peeled and finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
Instructions
- Drain the tofu. If you have a tofu press then press that tofu. If you don't, like me, then just wrap it in a paper towel, put it on a plate and place something heavy on top (i.e. a really heaving chopping board). Leave for 30 minutes to get rid of all the excess liquid
- Cut the tofu into cubes (think chicken nugget like) and place into a glass storage container with a lid
- Mix all the marinade ingredients together and pour over the tofu. Cover and pop in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 8. Give it a bit of a shake occasionally to redistribute the marinade
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Drain the tofu cubes (keep the marinade - it makes a great salad dressing - it's the same dressing I use for my Rainbow Brown Rice Sesame Bowl) and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop in the oven for 45 minutes or until they are brown and crispy. Turn occasionally
- Once brown and crispy remove from the oven and enjoy! Or, store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days
Notes
Kept covered in the fridge, these will last about 3-4 days
