Quoted message said:From: Vicky <[email hidden]> I am interested in making a baked tofu. I have tasted this
but don't
know
Quoted message said:how it was made. Tofu was cooked in the oven< I think, until it was browned on bothe sided and
weas firm and chewy. Then a sauce was
painted
Quoted message said:over it and it was cooked until the sauce dried and made a savory film over the surface? If anyone
has a recipe they would like to share please post it. Thanks
This isn't quite the method you're describing, but it's very good.
Baked Tofu
2 cakes (12 oz each) firm tofu 3 Tbsp toasted sesame oil 3 Tbsp soy sauce
1.5 Tbsp medium dry sherry or rice wine/sake
2.5 Tbsp rice or cider vinegar 1 lg clove garlic, minced or pressed 3 Tbsp minced onion 2 tsp grated
fresh ginger .25 cup water .5 tsp chili paste
Press the tofu: place the cakes in a pan and put a plate on top, put a weight (about 4 lbs) on top,
and let stand 30 minutes. (This removes water, firming the tofu and, more importantly, causing it to
absorb the sauce.) Preheat oven to 375F. Mix the other ingredients together (if you use a blender or
food processor, you don't have to mince the ingredients). Oil a 9x13" pan and add the sauce to the
pan. Slice each cake of tofu into three horizontally, and then those slices into whatever shape you
like (cubes, triangles). Add the tofu to the pan with the sauce, turn once to coat, and bake about
45 minutes, until most of the water has evaporated, turning the tofus 2-3 times during baking.
