Double Soy Ginger Tofu

Here's an easy recipe for tofu! We do a lot of Asian cooking so we always have all of these ingredients.

2 T. seasoned rice vinegar
1T. ginger, fresh minced (I've used the dried powdered ginger on occasion)
3 T. orange juice
3 T. soy sauce
1 t. sesame oil (make sure this is 1 teaspoon, NOT tablespoon!!)
2 T. water
14 oz tofu, extra firm, drained


In a small saucepan combine vinegar and ginger. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in orange juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water.

Cut tofu crosswise into 12 slices and arrange in a single layer in a 13 x 9 glass baking dish. Pour ginger mixture over tofu; tilt dish so all of tofu is coated.

Bake until liquid evaporates completely and tofu is deep brown, about 45 minutes. (The pan will look burned around the edges.) Let cool at least 15 minutes.
