When everyone thinks of tofu they think a mushy & flavorless!

Tofu doesn’t have to be mushy or flavorless if you cook it correctly!

Tools

• 2 Dinner Plates
• 1 Thick Dish Towel
• 1 Silicone Baking Mat
• 1 Heavy Object
• 1 Knife
• 1 Cooking Stone
• 1 Cutting Board
• 1 Mixing Bowl
• 1 Rubber Spatula
• 1 Oven
• 1 Refrigerator
• 1 Set of Oven Mitts

Ingredients

• Extra Firm Tofu
• 1 Bottle of Teriyaki Sauce or Budget Bytes Recipe

Recipe

1. Drain tofu from package
2. Wrap tofu in the thick dish towel
3. Place the wrapped between the 2 plates & place the heavy object on top (I use a container of water)
4. Let the wrapped tofu sit for 20-50 minutes. The towel will observe the excess water
   • Skip steps 2-3 if you are using a TofuPress
5. After you let the tofu sit for 20-50 minutes remove from the towel wrapping and place on cutting board
6. While on cutting board cut the tofu into desired chunks, preferably 1×1″
7. Place tofu chunks in the mixing bowl, and pour teriyaki sauce over top, and mix with a rubber spatula. Let the mixture marinate for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator
8. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees
9. Remove tofu teriyaki mixture from the refrigerator after 20-30 minutes
10. Place the silicon baking mat onto the cooking stone, and pour the tofu teriyaki mixture onto the silicon baking mat
11. Once the oven has pre-heated place in the oven for 20 minutes, after 20 minutes broil for 5-10 minutes
12. Remove the cooking stone from the oven
    • Please remember to use an oven mitt, to not burn your hand(s)
13. Let the tofu teriyaki sit for 5 minutes, and serve!

I absolutely love to eat the tofu teriyaki on top of brown rice!
