SPICY BAKED TOFU



Spicy Baked Tofu image

This healthy, protein-packed tofu dish is filled with flavor. This is a spicy dish. I don't find it overly spicy but I like heat in my faux-meat! I served this with wilted garlic spinach and a fresh salad on the side. Remember that tofu is a concentrated protein, so you don't need as much tofu as you would meat. This dish is great reheated! If you want to be really creative, try grilling your tofu for an even more delicious result!

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 serving cooking spray
1 (12 ounce) package tofu
2 tablespoons Japanese low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 ½ tablespoons hoisin sauce

Steps:

  • Lay the tofu on a plate lined with a couple sheets of paper towel. Layer more paper towel atop tofu and place another plate atop the stack to press water from the tofu. Let sit at least 5 minutes.
  • Cut tofu into 1/2-inch strips and put into a large, sealable plastic bag; add soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger, and hoisin sauce. Squeeze bag to remove excess air and seal. Marinate tofu in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Remove tofu from the marinade, shake to remove excess moisture, and arrange onto the prepared baking sheet. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip, and continue baking until firm, 15 to 20 minutes more.

LIGHT SPINACH PASTA WITH TOFU



Light Spinach Pasta With Tofu image

A simple and light spinach with pasta recipe which I make for lunch at least once a week. My oven doesn't work so this is baking free!

Provided by directions

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups fresh spinach
3 ounces pasta (any shape)
3 ounces firm tofu, cubed
1 large onion
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon oil
red pepper powder
salt

Steps:

  • Boil pasta according to package directions but only till its almost done.
  • Wash and clean the spinach and steam with a little water for 4 minutes in the microwave.
  • Once it is steamed, blenderize it with the same water to get a spinach paste which is kind of watery
  • In a large non stick skillet, heat oil.
  • When oil gets hot, add the chopped garlic.
  • When the garlic is slightly browned add the onions and stir fry till the onions turn brown.
  • Add the tofu and stir fry till the tofu changes color a bit and looks slightly as if it has been fried.
  • At this point add the red pepper flakes/powder and stir. Immediately add the the spinach paste
  • Let it simmer.
  • Add salt.
  • When the water from the spinach reduces add the semi cooked pasta and let it cook completely. If you think more water is needed add that.
  • I don't add cheese, but can also do the last step in the oven with mozzarella on top.
  • I like this hot and cold--tastes good every way.
