Yum, Tofu

Ok,not something you hear too often, but here’s a simple way to brighten it up.

Serves 4 (serve with brown rice)

• 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 4 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 inch finger of ginger root
• 14 oz extra firm tofu

Cube the tofu and place in an oven proof tray. Drizzle the oil & sauce over the tofu cubes. Roughly chop the ginger and add to the dish. Marinate for about 30 minutes, turning the tofu from time to time, so you have something like this:

Bake in the oven at 400 for about 40-50 minutes, again turning from time to time until the tofu crisps. Note you don’t have to keep the tofu in a flat layer.The strands of ginger will brown and most of the fluid will evaporate or be absorbed by the tofu.

Serve with brown rice.
