Steps:
- PlateTofu (very important for texture): place block of tofu in between 2 plates with paper towels on top and bottom. Place some thing heavy on top plate (whatever will stay put, I use a big peanut buuter jar or bananas). Alow to sit for at least 20 min, the longer it sits, the "meatier" the tofu.
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Slice block in half from left to right so you have two pieces the same as the original block's width and length.
- Mix remaining ingredients together (adjust anything to taste - sometimes I use lemon juice in place of soy sauce or add minced ginger).
- Baste top, bottom and sides of each tofu block and place onto pan sprayed with cooking spray (I use olive oil spray).
- Bake for 40 minutes, flip halfway through and rebaste if desired.

Tips:

- Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu removes excess moisture, which helps it to crisp up in the oven.
- Marinate the tofu: Marinating the tofu in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil adds depth and flavor to the tofu bites.
- Coat the tofu bites in cornstarch: Coating the tofu bites in cornstarch before baking helps them to get crispy on the outside while staying tender on the inside.
- Bake the tofu bites at a high temperature: Baking the tofu bites at a high temperature helps them to get crispy quickly without drying them out.
- Serve the tofu bites on a bed of leafy romaine lettuce: The leafy romaine lettuce provides a fresh and crunchy base for the tofu bites.
- Drizzle the tofu bites with a flavorful dressing: Drizzling the tofu bites with a flavorful dressing, such as a balsamic vinaigrette or a peanut sauce, adds an extra layer of flavor and richness.
