Baking Tofu?

Question

Is it a good idea to bake my tofu a little in the oven before I preform this recipe?

Answer 1

NO you don't. Go by what the recipe says. Allrecipes is a great site BTW

Answer 2

I always slice my tofu and bake it with a drizzle of olive oil and soy sauce. Gives it flavor and texture, but still neutral so I can make anything (except deserts) from it. This recipe looks like it would be best with firm or extra firm.

Answer 3

You don't have to because the tofu is cooked in the recipe (fried in the skillet). Baking it before may dry it out. Looks tasty, though!
