Ingredients:

Serving

12 oz firm tofu
2 tbsp dark sesame oil
2 tbsp tamari soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine or 1 tbsp sake or 1 tbsp dry sherry
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp finely minced onions
1 tsp grated fresh gingerroot
3 tbsp water
1/2 tsp hot chili paste , to taste (optional)

Directions:

For best results, tofu should be pressed in order to remove excess liquid and absorb the flavors of the marinade.
Press tofu block between two plates, weighted down with a cast iron pan, large bowl of water, or heavy cans, for about 30 minutes.
Halfway through, you may dump the plate of water and flip the tofu block.
To make marinade, simply whisk together the ingredients in a bowl.
After tofu is pressed, cut the block into small cubes or triangles.
Place pieces of tofu into baking dish, and cover with the marinade.
The tofu can sit overnight in the marinade, or can be prepared right away.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Bake tofu about 35-45 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Tofu can be eaten by itself, or added to stir-frys, salads, soups or sandwiches.
