Tofu is one of those wonder foods that assumes the taste of the other ingredients in the pot. Following is a very versatile recipe. The cubed tofu can be mixed into a salad or can top a rice dish for a light, healthful supper packed with protein and vitamins. If baked longer, it becomes hard and crispy and can be noshed as is, or used as croutons to top a salad. Thanks Chava E.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1 (approx. 450-gram/up to 1-pound) package tofu, any kind (the package I used had just 337 grams)

  • 2 tablespoons Glicks Soy Sauce (tamari)

  • 1 teaspoon canola oil

  • 1 teaspoon Gefen Sesame Oil (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Prepare the Tofu

1.

Cut tofu into cubes. Mix together with soy sauce and leave a few minutes to allow tofu to absorb the flavor.

2.

Add rest of ingredients and mix together. Pour into a small baking pan and drizzle with additional oil — not too much (we want to keep the fat down!).

3.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for 30 minutes for a soft texture, 45 for a medium texture, and an hour or more for crispy, crunchy cubes. Mix every few minutes to ensure even exposure to the oven’s heat.

Tips:

To make this dish more piquant, add some freshly ground ginger and a bit of cayenne pepper.

Notes:

This tastes best eaten fresh. If refrigerated overnight, the texture becomes a little rubbery
