INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 (12 ounce) package tofu

  • Seasonings and Sauces

    • 🧂 2 tablespoons Japanese low-sodium soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
    • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
    • 1 ½ tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • Other

    • Cooking spray

STEPS

1

Cover a plate with two paper towels. Place tofu on top and cover with two more paper towels. Place a heavy plate over the stack and let sit until liquid emerges from tofu, 5 to 30 minutes. Cut tofu into 1/2-inch strips.

2

Combine soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger, and hoisin sauce in a large resealable plastic bag. Add tofu, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

3

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

4

Remove tofu from marinade and shake off excess. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Discard remaining marinade.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until firm, 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through.

💡 For even more flavor, try grilling the tofu instead of baking.This dish pairs well with wilted spinach and a fresh salad for a balanced meal.To save time, press the tofu earlier in the day and refrigerate it until ready to marinate.
