Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
fresh ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Mix vinegar, ketchup, peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, and black pepper together in a small, microwave-safe bowl.
  • Heat vinegar mixture in microwave oven until the peanut butter is softened, 10 to 15 seconds; stir mixture until smooth.
  • Put tofu into a large bowl. Pour sauce over the tofu and stir to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to a full day, stirring occasionally to assure tofu remains coated in sauce.

  • Spread tofu onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake in preheated oven until slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

It was okay. The tofu was a bit bland, even with the marinade. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The tofu was a bit dry, but the marinade was flavorful. I think I would try marinating the tofu for longer next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The marinade was flavorful and the tofu was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
