orange ginger baked tofu



This is an awesome recipe with rice or noodles or maybe just a salad.  The whole family gives this one a thumbs up. We love it.

Ingredients
1 pound extra firm tofu, drained and pressed*

Marinade
2 tablespoons grated ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1/4 cup orange juice (fresh is preferred, you can use the juice of the orange that you zest)
1/4 cup dry white wine (I use diluted white wine vinegar)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
4 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons veg oil (I use canola or sesame might be good)


Directions
Preheat oven to 375 F.

Combine all ingredient for the marinade in a small bowl and wisk vigorously.

Cut the tofu into 8 slice crosswise. Pour 1/2 marinade into a baking dish and dredge tofu slices. Pour the other half of marinade over the tofu. Let sit 10 minutes.

Cover baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from over and flip pieces over. Cook 15 more minutes uncovered. To give the tofu more chewiness, place in the broiler for 2 minutes on each side.
