Spicy Baked Tofu image

This healthy, protein-packed tofu dish is filled with flavor. This is a spicy dish. I don't find it overly spicy but I like heat in my faux-meat! I served this with wilted garlic spinach and a fresh salad on the side. Remember that tofu is a concentrated protein, so you don't need as much tofu as you would meat. This dish is great reheated! If you want to be really creative, try grilling your tofu for an even more delicious result!

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 serving cooking spray
1 (12 ounce) package tofu
2 tablespoons Japanese low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 ½ tablespoons hoisin sauce

Steps:

  • Lay the tofu on a plate lined with a couple sheets of paper towel. Layer more paper towel atop tofu and place another plate atop the stack to press water from the tofu. Let sit at least 5 minutes.
  • Cut tofu into 1/2-inch strips and put into a large, sealable plastic bag; add soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger, and hoisin sauce. Squeeze bag to remove excess air and seal. Marinate tofu in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Remove tofu from the marinade, shake to remove excess moisture, and arrange onto the prepared baking sheet. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip, and continue baking until firm, 15 to 20 minutes more.

This tofu dish was okay. The tofu was a little too soft and the sauce was a little too spicy. I might try making it again with some modifications.
