Ingredients
- 1 pound firm Tofu
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger(optional)
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger(optional)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- pinch cayenne
- fresh ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- sliced green onions
Instructions
Step 1
Remove the tofu from its container and pat dry using several paper towels. Clean and reserve the original container. Line the container with clear plastic wrap.
Step 2
Combine all marinade ingredients, except the green onions, and mix thoroughly in a bowl with a whisk.
Step 3
Cut the tofu into 8 equal slices. Carefully arrange the tofu back into the plastic-lined container, separating each slice with several pieces of green onion.
Step 4
Add the remaining green onion to the marinade and whisk once more. Pour or spoon the marinade around the perimeter and between the tofu slices. Ensure there is just enough marinade to completely cover the tofu without flowing over the edge of the container.
Step 5
Place the container in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least an hour.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 7
Spray a baking sheet with olive oil and arrange the tofu slices evenly. Spoon some marinade over the top of each slice and bake for 30 minutes, uncovered.
Step 8
Turn the tofu slices over halfway through baking and spoon the remaining marinade over the top of each slice.
Step 9
Broil for a few minutes, if needed, until the tofu is golden on both sides.
