Easy Tofu for Everyone

4 ingredients
13 steps

Ingredients

  • 15 ounces extra firm tofu, water packed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 14 teaspoon red curry paste (or more if you like spicy)

Directions

  1. 1
    To drain tofu: Cut tofu into thirds to yield three 1/2 inch thick flat rectangles.
  2. 2
    Place rectangles side-by-side between several layers of paper-towels or dish-towels and cover with a cookie-sheet or anything else flat.
  3. 3
    Place weight on the top (a soup-pot filled with water works well).
  4. 4
    Leave it for at least half an hour.
  5. 5
    The longer you leave it the drier it will be and the less time it will take to cook.
  6. 6
    Two hours is probably a little excessive.
  7. 7
    In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, and curry paste (use a fork or back of a spoon to mix paste in).
  8. 8
    Once Tofu is drained, crumble it into bowl with your hands, and mix with a fork till all pieces are covered.
  9. 9
    Don't worry of the pieces are different sizes.
  10. 10
    Leave it while you preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  11. 11
    Spread Tofu in the bottom of an ungreased 9 x 13 Pyrex pan or foil-lined cookie sheet.
  12. 12
    Bake for 15 - 30 minutes (time changes depending on how long it was drained), stirring at least once in the middle.
  13. 13
    When it's tosty and golden-brown all over it's done.
