Yield Makes 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 package (7 ounces) firm tofu
Olive oil, or vegetable oil, for baking sheet
Salt (optional)
Tomato sauce, for dipping

Steps:

  • Cut tofu into 3-by-1/2-inch sticks. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a double layer of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Top tofu with another double layer of paper towels or kitchen towel. Place another baking sheet or a baking dish on top, and press down firmly. Weigh down with heavy cans; let stand until tofu has released excess liquid, at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour. Pressed tofu sticks can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly brush a baking sheet with oil; set aside. Pat tofu dry. Lightly season tofu, if desired. Arrange tofu sticks in a single layer on prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 1/2 inch apart. Bake tofu, turning halfway through, until both sides are crisp and light golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes per side. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with tomato sauce.

The tofu sticks were good, but I found them to be a little too oily. I would probably use less oil next time.

These tofu sticks were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would probably use less chili sauce next time.

The tofu sticks were good, but I found the recipe to be a little bland. I would add more garlic and ginger next time.

These tofu sticks were a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more oil to the pan next time.

These tofu sticks were easy to make and very tasty. I used a store-bought teriyaki sauce and they were still delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

These tofu sticks were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious flavor. I served them with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, and they were perfect.
