We don’t eat a lot of tofu in our vegetarian home. But when we do, our favorite recipe is for easy Tofu Bites. It goes great over a bed of rice. They take less time to make than the rice does to cook.
The downside? We never have any leftovers.
We have served this to kids, and adults; vegetarians and meat eaters. It easily expands to create a meal for a crowd- we’ve served this dish at large events to great success.
Ingredients:
1 Pound Firm Tofu
¼ Cup Soy Sauce
¼ Cup Ketchup
1 T Fresh Grated Ginger
1 Clove Garlic
Salt &Pepper to taste
1 T Maple Syrup
(Hot Sauce: Optional)
Process:
Dice Tofu into ½ Inch cubes.
Mix all other ingredients by hand in a bowl. Add in some hot sauce, if you want a bit of a kick!
Toss in Tofu and allow to marinate about ten minutes.
Bake in small casserole dish at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. Try to keep the tofu in a bit of a heap- if it gets too spread out in the oven, it’ll dry out on you. We like it to remain saucey!
Yum!
Bake up some Tofu Bites and watch them disappear.
