Simple Baked Tofu

Ingredients

• 1 block firm tofu (non silken)
• 3 T soysauce
• 3 T balsamic vinegar(or other type)
• 1 T garlic powder
• 1 T ground ginger
• 1 T salt
• 1/2 T pepper(white or black, or both)
• 1 T olive oil

Directions

Cube the tofu and add the other ingredients in a mixing bowl. You can either let marinate the tofu or bake it right away. The best way to mix it up is to toss between 2 bowls until evenly covered. If you have a cooling rack, lay out the tofu on the rack with a tray underneath to catch the excess liquid. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, then remove the tray and put the rack back in for another 15 or until it starts to get golden brown edges.

This will keep in the fridge for at least a couple of days, and you can throw them in stirfries or salads or whatever. When they are warm, the flavor comes out better; but where I worked we would just eat them cold while we were cooking. These are pretty good on the grill, too. And of course, experiment with seasonings.
