Teriyaki Tofu

Last week, I had a package of tofu that desperately needed to be used. I generally only use tofu to make tofu ricotta and rarely use it for much else. But, I came across a blogger who marinated her tofu in teriyaki sauce and baked it. I thought that had my name written all over it.

'Cept for the fact that I don't know what teriyaki sauce is.

Well, I consulted with my friend Google, and figured out it was basically soy sauce, sugar and some seasonings. Simple enough.

And, teriyaki tofu was born.



Teriyaki Tofu

1 package tofu
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup Bragg's amino acids or soy sauce
2 tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried sage
pinch of cayenne pepper

Press tofu using paper towels and a heavy book, or with a tofu press. Mix together all the ingredients in a container. Let the tofu marinate in mixture for 8-12 hours. Preheat oven to 375. Cut tofu into slabs and place onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle remaining marinade onto the tofu. Bake for 20 mins or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
