Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound firm tofu

1 cup fresh orange juice

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1/3 cup shoyu

1/3 cup canola oil

4 teaspoons dark sesame oil

3 garlic cloves -- minced

1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger

1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

1 scallion -- chopped into 1-inch pieces

1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro

2 dried chipotle chiles (optional)

 

When the flavorful marinade works its magic, the tofu changes into chewy,

succulent morsels. You could Serve the tofu with rice and a green salad for a

simple meal, or serve it hot or cold in a sandwich, or cut into cubes on top of

a salad. It keeps well for days. Cut the tofu before you press it, but don't

separate the pieces until after pressing because it is easier to press the tofu

when it's in a block.

 

Turn the tofu on its side and cut it into 4 thin slices. Lay the toofu flat

again and cut the block diagonally to make eight triangles. Without separating

the pieces, press the tofu for at least 30 minutes.

 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, vinegar, shoyu, oils, garlic,

ginger, and red pepper flakes.

 

Separate the pressed tofu pieces and place them iin a baking dish in a single

layer. Cover with the marinade and sprinkle with the scallions and cilantro.

Cut the stems off the chiiles, remove the seeds, and place the chiles in the

baking dish. Marinate foor at least 30 minutes, and up to overnight. Preheat

the oven to 350F.

 

Pour off some of the marinade so the tofu is covered halfway. Bake for 40 to 45

minutes, without turning, until the tofu is golden and most of the marinade has

been absorbed.
