Aji Baked Tofu With Black Sesame Seeds image

This recipe calls for Aji Sesame Oil-- a sesame oil that has been infused with red chilies and is SPICY. I accidentally bought it at my local asian grocery and am now hooked. You can typically find black sesame seeds at asian grocery stores as well. This tofu goes beautifully over sticky brown rice, crunchy steamed broccoli and a little soy sauce drizzled over the whole shebang. I'm a single lady who loves to chow down, so this recipe was a perfect entree-sized amount for just me, but could probably be split between two people willing to share.
