Crispy Baked Tofu with a Sesame Crust
A delicious, flavour-packed way to serve tofu. Perfect on a salad or as a starter.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
Marinade
- 2 tbsp lemon juice - juice of one medium lemon
- 2 tbsp dark tamari/soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Press the water out of the tofu. Wrap it in a clean tea towel and press it under a chopping board weighted with a couple of cans on top. Leave it for about 20 minutes.
- Slice the tofu into thinnish slices (about 1 cm). Then cut each slice diagonally to make 2 triangles.
- Place in a container and pour the marinade over. Leave for at least 20 minutes to soak up the marinade. If the marinade does not completely cover the tofu, you will need to turn it after 10 minutes.
- After marinating, roll each piece of tofu in the sesame seeds and place onto a greased baking tray (or use a silicone mat on the tray, to avoid the need for greasing). Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at GM 5/375 °F/190 °C, turning half way through cooking. The tofu is ready when the edges are browned and crispy.
