Baked Tofu

• 1lb firm tofu, fresh if possible
• 1T light sesame oil
• 2T brown rice vinegar
• 2T apple juice or cider
• 2T mirin
• 1T shoyu
• 1t toasted sesame oil

1. 1. Press water out of tofu. The best way is to wrap it in a dishcloth, set it between two plates, and put something heavy on top - leaving it for 30 minutes. If you don't have time, you can just manually press it out into the dishcloth for a minute.
2. 2. Whisk all ingredients together.
3. 3. Place tofu on cutting board, long side down. Bisect it the short way. Bisect each half the same direction. Now bisect all 4 pieces, so you have eight slabs, even in thickness. The evenness helps it bake evenly.
4. 4. Place tofu in a tightly fitted container and add marinade. You can leave this for 30 minutes to 1 day, which will help the flavor. If you don't have time, just a few minutes is fine.
5. 5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
6. 6. Bake tofu in it's marinade for 45-60 minutes, flipping halfway through. Tofu should be golden brown and marinade absorbed.
