Baked Teriyaki Tofu
[cooked-sharing]
Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Cut tofu into slices and then 1-inch cubes, and then place in an even layer on a clean towel. Place another towel on the top and put something heavy on top, pressing for about 10 minutes.
Toss tofu in a bowl with the tamari and a bit of olive oil, if desired, and then sprinkle in the starch until evenly coated. Arrange the tofu on parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.
For teriyaki sauce, add all ingredients to a small pot and whisk together until smooth. Bring to a boil and continue whisking until sauce thickens to desired consistency. Taste and adjust. If sauce is too thick, thin with additional water.
To make teriyaki tofu, toss the baked tofu with a few spoonfuls of the sauce in a bowl until completely coated. Serve immediately.
- Makes a lot of teriyaki sauce; enough to cover tofu and have leftover to glaze veggies/serve with rice. If you just want to make the tofu I would halve the sauce ingredients!
