Tips:
- Use extra firm tofu for the best results. Extra firm tofu holds its shape better when baked and absorbs the marinade more easily.
- Press the tofu before baking. This helps to remove excess water from the tofu, resulting in a firmer texture.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This allows the tofu to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Bake the tofu at a high temperature (400°F or higher) for a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Serve the tofu hot or cold, with your favorite dipping sauce or glaze.

Sesame seed 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 packed with flavor. With its crispy exterior and tender interior, sesame seed baked tofu is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
