MARINATED BAKED TOFU
I am addicted to baked tofu!! Thank you Mollie Katzen and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest for the excellent marinade recipe! The tofu never lasts long enough to make it into a stir-fry at my house. I end up eating it by itself. I love it hot or cold. And of course absolutely everything to do with this recipe can be adapted to taste or what you have in the kitchen. Enjoy!

- Press the tofu before marinating: This will help to remove excess water and allow the marinade to penetrate more deeply.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give the tofu its flavor, so make sure to use a combination of ingredients that you enjoy. Some good suggestions include soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and honey.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes: This will give the marinade time to work its magic and infuse the tofu with flavor.
