SIMPLE BAKED TOFU

Obtained from my favorite vegetarian website. Tofu is healthy and tasty! Don't let it scare you away. Grill or bake and serve over rice. You can also serve them in stirfrys or salads that call for seasoned tofu. The seasonings are given in VERY generous amounts so reduce them if you desire a milder taste. Considering the amount of salt in the soy sauce, you can completely omit the salt if desired.

I use this baked tofu all the time! It can be used in sandwhiches, stir fries, salads, soup...you name it! Plus it's low-cal, a good source of protein and delicious. I usually make about 4lbs at a time so I'm able to use it through the week.
