Recipe Summary Spicy Baked Marinated Tofu

Marinate tofu in a mix of rice vinegar, peanut butter, ketchup, garlic, and soy sauce, and discover that tofu really can be tasty! I've tried this recipe by first freezing and defrosting the tofu; it creates a nice texture.

Ingredients | Baked Tofu Epicurious

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

Directions

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.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Spread tofu onto a baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake in preheated oven until slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

If you like them a little crispier or browner, bake an additional 5 to 15 minutes.

The baked tofu can be eaten hot, cold, or at room-temperature.
