There's no photo for this one. Sometimes life is not fair.
This may be a recipe for tofu, but don't let that fool you into thinking I know how to cook with tofu. I don't. I've been a vegetarian for over 5 years and this is the first time I've cooked tofu. No, I don't know what I've been eating all this time either.
Drain tofu and remove from package. Wrap block in tea towel or paper towels and place on a plate. Put weights on top of wrapped block and let sit for 10 minutes. Doing this will remove excess moisture and allow tofu to soak up more flavor (probably).
Marinade
2 parts soy sauce
1 part vinegar
chili paste and sugar to taste
Cut tofu into 1 inch cubes. Soak in marinade for about 10 minutes. Spread tofu on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 350. Over-baking the tofu will make it very chewy.
I don't really see this as an entree by itself. We put the baked tofu in our usual vegetable stir fry. I could see this working in other things, the marinade can be changed to suit the dish.
