Ingredients
 

  • 14oz Block of Extra-Firm Tofu
  • 1 tablespoon Grated Ginger
  • 2-3 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 3 tablespoons White Miso Paste
  • 2 tablespoons Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons Water or as needed
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • Juice of ½ Lime
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Sauce

Instructions

  • Press the block of extra-firm tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water.
  • Grate the ginger and mince the garlic then add to a large container or bowl.
  • Add the miso paste, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and chili sauce to the bowl and whisk to combine. If your marinade is a little thick, add a tablespoon or two of water.
  • Cube the block of tofu and add to the marinade. Mix well until all the tofu is covered. Transfer the tofu to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400F. Place the marinated tofu on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 20 minutes then flip and continue to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Alternatively, you can pan-fry the tofu in oil until golden brown.
  • Serve as desired!

Notes

Marinate overnight for the best flavor. If you're short on time, you can marinate the tofu for as little as 30 minutes but overnight will yield a more flavorful dish.
