Savory tofu marinated and baked in soy sauce, topped with sesame seeds.
Ingredients:
  • 10 ounces firm tofu, cut into 6 slices
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 green onion, minced
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Place the tofu slices neatly in a square baking dish to ensure even cooking.
  • Combine water, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add sesame oil to the mixture, stir well, then remove from heat and pour over the tofu.
  • Let tofu soak up flavors for 15 minutes in the marinade.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium heat and toast sesame seeds until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Place tofu in a preheated oven until it develops a glossy finish for about 25 minutes. Top with sesame seeds and green onion before serving.
