Baked tofu (crunchy + delicious!)

As a zealous meat lover’s wife, this can be tough (like real It’s hard) Finding the plant-based protein choices my husband really likes. That said, until I stumbled upon the deliciousness of roasted tofu. Whatever you might have thought of tofu before, throw it out the window. The flavor and texture of this dish are not debated.

This tofu is marinated into soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic, coriander and red pepper flakes. The tofu is full of Asian-style flavors that are guaranteed to emit export water.

Not to mention, it will promote your body with a lot of plant-based proteins and essential amino acids.

So, whether you are using this roasted tofu as a passionate dish or making it a star of the show, you can’t really go wrong.

I recommend putting it on the rice or stuffing it into the package with fresh vegetables. It also has a perfect simple dinner with grilled vegetables and some steamed rice or couscous.

No matter how you use this dish, even the meat lovers in the group can’t resist it.

Key Ingredients

To bring this delicious plant-based recipe to life, you will need the following key ingredients:

• soy sauce: This is one of the main players in the marinade in this dish. Not only does the tofu absorb soy sauce well, it also adds a lot of delicious umami, umami flavor. I like to choose a low-sodium soy sauce, but you can use any kind at home including coconut Aminos or Tamari.
• sesame oil: The sesame oil is full of nutty flavor and is a staple in many Asian-style marinades and stir-fry dishes. It adds a variety of flavors, as well as heart-healthy fats. The same goes for olive oil or avocado oil.
• Rice vinegar: Just like sesame oil and soy sauce, rice vinegar is a staple in Asian cuisine. The acidity of this ingredient enhances the taste of the rest of our ingredients. If you like, exchange the acid juice or lemon juice for acid.
• Maple syrup. When it comes to natural sweeteners, maple syrup is one of my diseases. For this marinade, I recommend using pure maple syrup as it contains only the sap, which cooks to a thicker consistency. Honey or agave can also work.
• Herbs and spices: Garlic, fresh coriander and a hint of red pepper flakes are the ideal way to enhance the flavor of this dish. Add some freshly chopped ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, chili or smoked paprika to make it more flavorful.
• Tofu: Tofu is one of the most popular sources of plant-based protein in the world and is made from soy ebans. Because the tofu has such a mild flavor, it is perfect for use in a variety of dishes. Make sure to use super companies in this recipe.

Baked tofu recipe tips and tips

Want to know how to make the best tofu? Here are some of my main tips:

• Use super tofu. Soft tofu is not for grilling, so using it for this dish won’t be great for you. Be sure to check the label before purchasing to make sure you get super tofu.
• Press your tofu. All you have to do is cut the tofu in half and microwave for about 2 minutes. This will release most of its liquid. Then, place the tofu between tissues and top with some weight (such as a cutting board or pan). After 15 minutes, most of its water should dissipate.
• Let it pickle. The key to this recipe is to let it marinate for a long time. If you are in a hurry, make sure to marinate the tofu for at least 15 minutes. If you have time in the world at all times, marinate the tofu overnight for the most delicious results.
• Make a serial port: Instead of grilling the tofu on a wooden board, turn them into skewers. Simply cut the tofu into a cube and thread it onto the metal or bamboo string. If you have a light meal, add vegetables.

Baked tofu service tips

Baked tofu can be provided in many different ways. But if you’re new to whole plant-based proteins, here are my favorite ways to serve tofu:

• vegetable. Pairing this delicious roasted tofu with a large bowl of vegetables is a quick and easy way to make a balanced meal. I recommend trying roasted mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, pepper, zucchini, red onion or cauliflower because the flavor mixes well.
• A bowl of rice. Putting baked tofu on a bed of rice is one of the most common ways to do it, there is a reason, it tastes great! The rice not only adds some extra sincerity to the meal, but also does a great job of radiating any extra marinade to make every mouth full of flavor. To make it low in carb, swap the rice for cauliflower rice.
• Use a sandwich or wrap. Stuffing this baked tofu into a pita or a pita or package next to some fresh vegetables is the ideal way to turn this delicious tofu into a snap-up lunch or snack. Whether you’re in a hurry or just looking for a lighter meal, this is a winner.
• Add the sauce: Using some homemade peanut butter, Teriyaki sauce or Chipotle Sauce is even more exciting.

How to store leftovers

If your family is like mine, there are usually no leftovers for this dish. But if this is not the case for some magical reason, you will want to seal the leftovers in an airtight storage container bag. Once included correctly, you can store the remaining tofu in one of two ways:

• In the refrigerator Up to 4 to 5 days.
• In the freezer Up to 3 months.

Expert tips: After thawing the remaining tofu in the refrigerator, be sure to drain or squeeze out excess water. Then, reheat in the oven, stove or on the grill until warm.
