Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Press the extra-firm tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Nota bucătarului: Pressing tofu helps it absorb more flavor and achieve a crispier texture.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Aproximativ 2 min.
3
Add the cubed tofu to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Nota bucătarului: Gently toss the tofu halfway through marinating to ensure even flavor distribution.
4
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Aproximativ 10 min.
5
Drain the tofu from the marinade, reserving any leftover marinade. In a clean bowl, toss the marinated tofu with cornstarch until lightly coated.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: The cornstarch helps create a crispy exterior.
6
Arrange the tofu cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Aproximativ 1 min.
7
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Aproximativ 25 min.
8
If desired, briefly simmer the reserved marinade in a small saucepan until slightly thickened, then drizzle over the baked tofu before serving.
Nota bucătarului: This step is optional but adds extra flavor and gloss.
