HOW TO MAKE CRISPY BAKED TOFU

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the tofu from sticking.
• To prepare the tofu: Drain the tofu and use your palms to gently squeeze out some of the water. Slice the tofu into thirds lengthwise so you have 3 even slabs. Stack the slabs on top of each other and slice through them lengthwise to make 3 even columns, then slice across to make 5 even rows (see photos).
• Line a cutting board with a lint-free tea towel or paper towels, then arrange the tofu in an even layer on the towel(s). Fold the towel(s) over the cubed tofu, then place something heavy on top (like another cutting board, topped with a cast iron pan or large cans of tomatoes) to help the tofu drain. Let the tofu rest for at least 10 minutes (preferably more like 30 minutes, if you have the time).
• Transfer the pressed tofu to a medium mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and tamari. Toss to combine. Sprinkle the starch over the tofu, and toss the tofu until the starch is evenly coated, so there are no powdery spots remaining.
• Tip the bowl of tofu over onto your prepared baking sheet and arrange the tofu in an even layer. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing the tofu halfway, until the tofu is deeply golden on the edges. Use as desired.

BAKED TOFU & QUINOA WITH CHICKPEAS AND SPINACH RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or lay a piece of aluminium foil over the baking sheet and grease that with cooking spray (the aluminum foil keeps your baking sheet nice and clean). Cut tofu into 1 cm pieces (approximately 10 pieces). Coat each slice of tofu in flour. *Tip: use a medium sized bowl, fill it with flour and roll the tofu in it Dip each slice of floured tofu in a bowl holding the Asian sauce. Make sure each slice is completely covered (sometimes the flour will try to create a barrier, just keep pouring that sauce on). *Tip: similar to the flour, I use a medium sized bowl, poured my sauce in it and dip the tofu in that. Lay tofu slices in rows along the greased baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes and serve. If you are waiting on your quinoa to cook, cover tofu with aluminum and set aside. Directions: Clean your quinoa using a fine strainer by pouring the quinoa into the strainer and running water over the it until the water comes out clear. Pour the cleaned quinoa into a rice cooker along with the chickpeas and add enough water as if you were cooking rice on the "mixed" setting (So for 1 1/2 cups quinoa I added water between the 1 and 2 lines in the cooker). Turn the cooker on and let sit. While the quinoa cooks, heat a medium sauté pan to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and let sit until the oil glistens. Add chopped onion to the pan and saute for 4-5 minutes until onion turns translucent. Add garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute and then add spinach. Add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed and let spinach cook down, 3-5 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and cover. Once your quinoa is cooked and your rice cooker beeps, add cooked spinach mixture to the quinoa. Add salt and pepper, stir and close the rice cooker. Let sit for 3-5 minutes. (This allows the flavors to mix before serving). To Serve: Platter aproximately 1 cup of quinoa per plate. Place 2-3 slices of tofu over the quinoa. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of Asian sauce over the top and serve. Optional additions: chopped green onions or peanuts.
