Ingredients
- 1 block extra-firm tofu
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 tbs soya sauce
- 1 tbs corn starch
Method
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Rinse the tofu
- Squish as much water out of the tofu as you can:
- slice it into 3(ish) big slabs
- lay them out on a plate or board with a clean tea towel folded underneath
- cover with another folded tea towel
- put another plat or board on top with something heavy on that (eg. a big stack of plates or a cast iron pan)
- leave as long as you can, within reason (up to 30 min or so, but even just 5-10 helps
- Cut the slabs of tofu into bite-sized chunks or fingers of your preferred dimensions
- Put tofu in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil
- Add the soya sauce and toss to coat again
- Add the cornstarch and toss once more. Don't worry if the coverage isn't perfect.
- Spread out in one layer over a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
- Bake 25-30 minutes, flipping tofu about halfway through
Tofu should be crispy and tasty! Dip it in peanut sauce as a tasty snack or add to a stir fry or thai curry or whatever else you feel like making with tofu.
