  • In small bowl add all the ingredients except the tofu and whisk
  • Slice the tofu into 8 even slices
  • Gently dredge the tofu in the sauce and place in a 9x13 in glass baking dish so that they are not touching (a sheet pan would probably work as well)
  • Reserve the excess sauce
  • Bake for 20 minutes

  • Bake for another 20 minutes
  • Tofu can be store for up to five days in a sealed container in the refridgerator

Notes

  • I press my tofu using a cloth napkin (use any cloth that is smooth and doesn't have fiber that will stick to the tofu), two plates and a glass jar filled with lentils. You can use any heavy object, like a cast iron pan or cans of beans ect. to weight down the plate. Alternatively you can use a tofu press.
