How long and at what temp do i bake tofu?

Question

Any tips for marrinateds.

Answer 1

make sure you get extra firm tofu!

and if possible, before marinating it, put it under some sort of weight (an evenly distributed one like 3 plates stacked on top of one another) in order to press out extra liquids before baking.  

Answer 2

For 1 block firm tofu (non silken) marinate first and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Answer 3

Step 1

Remove tofu from its container and drain. Stand the tofu upright on a plate or in its original container to allow excess water to drain. Empty the container as many times as necessary over an hour and half period. I usually do this at least 3 times.

Step 2

Mix marinade ingredients right in the baking dish. Blend with the flat side of a fork.

Step 3

Slice the drained tofu into ½” slices, then place in prepared marinade, coating both sides before covering the dish in plastic wrap. Marinade at room temp for 3-5 hours, turning once.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.

Step 5

Lightly spray your cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 6

Place tofu slices on sheet, keeping ½” – 1” spacing.

Step 7

Bake for 30 – 35 minutes each side. The tofu should look brown and dry but should not appear shrivelled

Step 8

Dice or slice baked tofu and add to stir fry, salads, rice dishes, or wherever you might add chicken. Enjoy!
