Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
• 1 serving cooking spray
• 1 (12 ounce) package tofu
• 2 tablespoons Japanese low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Lay the tofu on a plate lined with a couple sheets of paper towel. Layer more paper towel atop tofu and place another plate atop the stack to press water from the tofu. Let sit at least 5 minutes.

Step 2

Cut tofu into 1/2-inch strips and put into a large, sealable plastic bag; add soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger, and hoisin sauce. Squeeze bag to remove excess air and seal. Marinate tofu in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step 4

Remove tofu from the marinade, shake to remove excess moisture, and arrange onto the prepared baking sheet. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip, and continue baking until firm, 15 to 20 minutes more.
