CRISP TOFU KATSU WITH LEMON-TAHINI SAUCE
Katsu, the Japanese-style fried cutlet dish, is made just a bit healthier in this version prepared with tofu slabs. Here, the slabs are dredged in seasoned bread crumbs, baked, not deep-fried, and paired with quinoa, making it full, protein-dense meal. Note, too, that the leftover katsu here reheats nicely: Simply put it in your oven at 400 degrees, and bake for 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Make the katsu: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease 2 large rimmed baking sheets with the oil. Put cornstarch, eggs and bread crumbs in three separate shallow bowls, and add 3/4 teaspoon of the granulated onion to each bowl. Season all with salt and pepper and mix well. Add 3 tablespoons oil to the bread crumbs and mix well.
- Working with one piece at a time, dust tofu in cornstarch, then dredge in egg, shaking off excess. Press in bread crumbs to evenly coat. Arrange on one baking sheet, and transfer to oven. Bake until golden and crisp, 15 minutes.
- Place mushrooms on second baking sheet, season with salt and pepper and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Bake until golden, 12 minutes.
- Make the quinoa: Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until the quinoa is tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, then return quinoa to the pan. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes; fluff into a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine tahini, oil, lemon juice, mustard, soy sauce, garlic and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of water. Whisk together and season with salt and pepper.
- To the quinoa, add mushrooms, cauliflower, parsley and 1 cup of the dressing and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide quinoa in bowls and top with tofu. Serve with remaining sauce for drizzling on tofu and lemon wedges, if desired.

ROSEMARY-LEMON BAKED TOFU
Baking tofu is a wonderful way for it to soak up all the delicious flavor in your marinade. In this recipe, the tofu has a bright, lemony flavor. If you have the time, let the tofu sit for an hour or so in the marinade before baking. However, if you are short on time, this step is not necessary. For those new to tofu, the block of tofu should be pressed between two plates, to remove any excess moisture from its packaging. Use a cast iron pan or heavy book. Baked tofu tastes even better the next day!

LEMONY BAKED TOFU
Yummy as a snack, sandwich filling, or topping for salads! It's got lots of flavor and holds it's shape well. A choice is given for two very different but equally inviting marinades. Be sure not to use an aluminum baking pan! Use the smallest baking pan you have that will hold the tofu in a single layer. An 8" square pan and a 7x9" pan both work fine.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400*F.
- Cut the tofu cake horizontally into four slices and set aside. Choose a marinade and whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Pour half in a small nonreactive baking pan. Place the tofu slices in the pan and pour on the remaining marinade.
- Bake 45-60 minutes, turning the tofu once after about 30 minutes. The baked tofu should be browned, bubbling, and curling up at the edges.
- Remove from the oven and with a metal spatula, move the tofu slices to a serving platter.
- Serve hot, warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
- The tofu will keep in an airtight contaiiner or plastic bag in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose firm or extra firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape and absorb the marinade better.
- Press the tofu before marinating. This will help remove excess water and allow the tofu to absorb the marinade more evenly.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give the tofu its flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that you enjoy. Some good options include lemon-mustard, teriyaki, or barbecue sauce.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. The longer the tofu marinates, the more flavor it will absorb.
- Bake the tofu at a high temperature. This will help the tofu get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Serve the tofu with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, noodles, vegetables, or salad.
Conclusion:
Lemon-mustard baked tofu is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a great source of plant-based protein and is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With its crispy exterior and tender interior, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
