Baked Tofu

I know there are a lot of Tofu haters out there and that's probably because if you don't cook it perfectly, it's pretty bad.  I've been to restaurants where they don't do anything to the tofu before serving and I swear it's like eating flavorless jello cubes.  I must say, I've cooked tofu several times and found a method that I will forever use.  It's easy and flawless and results in perfectly seasoned, crispy tofu that's baked and not fried!

 Start with a block of organic extra firm tofu.  It's important that it's organic, because soy beans are highly genetically modified.  Also, extra firm tofu is the best tofu to bake. 

 Slice the tofu in half lengthwise and soak in hot salted water for about 15 minutes.

 Remove the tofu from the water and lay on a kitchen towel.  Place another kitchen towel over the top and weigh down with come books or cans or anything heavy. 

 Place in a 350 degree oven, on an oiled baking sheet for 15 minutes.  After 15 minutes, remove from oven and slice into cubes, or however you'd like to slice them. Return to oven for another 15 minutes, giving them a stir every 5 minutes. 

This will result in perfectly crispy and seasoned tofu!  Add to your favorite dish and enjoy!
