Food Friday: Roasted Tofu!

Most people turn up their noses at tofu. I did for many years. I still don't like tofu in its soft version.  This way of preparing it is nice and chewy.  I like that.

Roasted/Baked Tofu

Slice one block of tofu horizontally to make two "slabs" that are about an inch or less thick.  Place on double or triple layered paper towels and cover with more paper towels.  Put a flat pan on top with a can or two of soup or vegetables on top of it.  Let drain for about fifteen minutes.  Cut into cubes.

In a large bowl place  3-4 Tablespoons hoisin sauce and an equal amount of teriyaki sauce.  Stir well.  Toss the tofu in the sauce to cover completely.

In another large bowl, place dried bread crumbs...a cup or more.  Put the coated tofu in the bread crumbs and toss to cover.



Place on a parchment-paper-covered or Silpat-covered pan and roast for 20 minutes in a 400 degree F. oven.  Remove from oven and flip the cubes to the other side.  Roast for another 20 minutes.

Eat them like popcorn.  I enjoyed them.  They could have had more flavor, and would have if I had marinated them overnight in the refrigerator, but I thought about it after coming home from Church.  Too late for marinating.  Next time.
