Preparation

  1. Press Extra Firm Tofu thoroughly – at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cut cross-hatched diagonal strips (but don’t go all the way through!)
  3. Combine ingredients for marinade in a bowl. Pour over block of tofu in a sealable container. Marinate for at least 24 hours, flipping every so often.
  4. Combine glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook until reduced, stirring often – about 5 minutes.
  5. Place on baking sheet & bake for 30 min in 375° oven.
  6. After 30 minutes, take tofu out of oven to brush on glaze. Bake for 5 more minutes and repeat until a thick layer of glaze forms.
  7. Remove from oven one last time, brush glaze once more and then let rest.
