SPICY BAKED TOFU



Spicy Baked Tofu image

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!

2 tablespoons Japanese low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root

SWEET-AND-SPICY ROASTED TOFU AND SQUASH



Sweet-and-Spicy Roasted Tofu and Squash image

This is a meal with complex flavors and a variety of textures: velvety from the honey-roasted squash, tender and juicy from the tofu, with the occasional crunch from the sesame-seed garnish and a slight chew from the squash peel. I like to serve this dish with more hot sauce on the side, preferably over brown rice or lightly dressed baby spinach, though it's also good served all alone. As long as the squash and the tofu have each other, that's all they really need.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained
2 pounds dumpling, delicata or acorn squash, halved and seeded
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce
Kosher salt, and black pepper
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons chopped celery leaves or cilantro

Steps:

  • Drain tofu and slice into 1/2-inch-thick slabs. Cut each slab in half. Arrange tofu on a large baking sheet or several plates lined with several layers of paper towels. Place another layer of paper towels on top and weigh down tofu with another baking sheet or more plates topped with a heavy cookbook or cans. Let stand for 20 minutes. Pat tofu dry.
  • While tofu drains, heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut squash into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons. Cut each slice in half again.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha and a pinch of salt. Whisk in peanut oil. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the mixture into a separate bowl and reserve. Whisk honey into the original mixture. Spread squash out on a large baking sheet and pour honey-soy mixture over it. Sprinkle squash lightly with salt and pepper and toss well. Roast until bottoms are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Flip and roast until uniformly golden and soft, about 10 minutes more. Transfer squash to a large bowl.
  • Adjust the heat to broil and position a rack just below the heating element. Toss tofu with reserved soy mixture and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet (you can use the same one you used for the squash). Cook until crispy and golden, about 2 minutes per side. Toss hot tofu with squash, sesame seeds and celery leaves, adding more soy sauce if you like.

SHAWARMA-SPICED TOFU PITA WRAPS



Shawarma-Spiced Tofu Pita Wraps image

Squeezing the tofu to get rid of as much water as possible primes it to soak up oil, spices, and, in a word, flavor.

Categories     Tofu     Onion     Vinegar     Coriander     Paprika     Cinnamon     Yogurt     Garlic     Cucumber     Mint     Dinner     Quick & Easy     Vegetarian     Quick and Healthy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 Tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
1 (14-oz.) block firm or extra-firm tofu, drained
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. smoked Spanish paprika
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1/2 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
4 pitas, warmed
2 Persian or mini cucumbers, thinly sliced lengthwise
Mint leaves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss onion and vinegar in a small bowl to coat; set aside.
  • Squeeze tofu over a medium bowl, gently at first, then more firmly to expel as much water as possible (like squeezing out a big sponge). Don't worry if it starts to crack apart. When no more liquid comes out, tear tofu into 1" pieces. Arrange in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil, then add coriander, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and 1 tsp. salt. Toss well to coat. Roast tofu, turning once or twice, until crispy around the edges and well browned, 20-25 minutes (the tofu will get crispier as it cools, so don't be tempted to take it too far and dry it out in the oven).
  • Stir yogurt and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt. Assemble by dividing yogurt among pitas, followed by tofu, cucumbers, drained pickled onion, and a handful of mint.

  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will help to remove excess moisture and make the tofu more flavorful.
  • Marinate the tofu in a flavorful sauce or mixture. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the tofu.
