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!

SPICY BAKED TOFU
This healthy, protein-packed tofu dish is filled with flavor. This is a spicy dish. I don't find it overly spicy but I like heat in my faux-meat! I served this with wilted garlic spinach and a fresh salad on the side. Remember that tofu is a concentrated protein, so you don't need as much tofu as you would meat. This dish is great reheated! If you want to be really creative, try grilling your tofu for an even more delicious result!

Steps:
- Press as much water as possible out of the tofu. Slice the tofu crosswise into 1/2" to 3/4" pieces or about 8 pieces.
- Combine all remaining ingredients in an 8 inch square baking dish and stir well.
- Place the tofu slices in the marinade. If the liquid does not completely cover the tofu, turn the pieces carefully at least once to make sure it is thoroughly coated.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- TO GRILL: Remove the tofu from the marinade and cook on a medium-hot grill, basting occasionally with the marinade. The tofu is done when it is golden brown, about 6-8 minutes per side. Rotate the tofu 45 degrees every 3 minutes to create crosshatch grill marks.
- TO BROIL: Remove the tofu from the marinade and place in a lightly oiled dish. Broil until the top is golden, about 5 to 7 minutes per side.

Tips:
- Use extra firm tofu for the best texture. Extra firm tofu holds its shape better when baked and absorbs the marinade more easily.
- Press the tofu before marinating. This helps to remove excess water from the tofu, resulting in a more flavorful and crispy baked tofu.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what gives the tofu its flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that you enjoy. This recipe uses a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and chili sauce, but you can use any marinade that you like.
- Bake the tofu at a high temperature. This helps to create a crispy outer layer and a tender interior.
- Serve the tofu with your favorite dipping sauce. This recipe suggests a simple soy sauce and rice vinegar dipping sauce, but you can use any dipping sauce that you like.
Conclusion:
Spicy baked marinated tofu is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is also a healthy and affordable source of protein. With a little planning, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
