Tofu

We eat tofu 2-3 times a week. Here is the method to my madness:
  1. I buy the extra firm tofu,drain it in a colander with a plate with some weight on top.
  2. When you are ready(usually 30 mins later or so), I slice it into 8 pieces and blot it well with a towel.
  3. Marinate-whatever you want italian dressing,thinned out BBQ sauce or soy sauce all work well.
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and use some cooking spray to coat a sheet pan. Arrange your slices on the pan and bake for 20 mins.
  5. Flip and bake another 10 mins. You may want to use some more spray at this point.
  6. Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes.
I usually just serve mine with a side of steamed veggies, but feel free to use it in a wrap,tacos whatever YOU like. After much trial and error I have found this to be the best method to get firm,flavorful tofu. Enjoy!
