Let's Make Tofu

Tofu is good, but you need to do some prep. 

Step One:

Cut the brick of tofu (extra firm) in half.  

Step Two:

Put a couple paper towel sheets down. Lay the tofu on the paper towels. Then put a couple paper towels on top.

Then put some heavy objects on the tofu and leave it for about 30 minutes.

Step Three:

Next stop, flavor town. All aboard, woo-woo!

Remove your heavy objects, and cut the tofu in cubes. Briefly admire the wetness of your paper towels before discarding. Then places your cubes in a marinade for another 15-30 minutes.

This marinade consists of equal parts soy sauce and rice vinegar and a dash of toasted sesame oil.

Get some on top too. Touch the tofu as little as possible as it's still fragile at this stage.

Step Four:

Sprinkle about a teaspoon or tablespoon of corn starch over the top of the tofu. Lay the tofu out on a baking sheet on the opposite side from which they were marinating and coat the top which is now facing up with corn starch. Place in the oven at 350 degrees for 25-40 minutes (depending on the size of your cubes), flipping them half way through baking.

And here they are pulled from the oven.

Ready to be tossed in a stir fry.
