Easy Ginger Tofu Bake
This is a quick recipe for a large quantity of tofu so that there are lots of leftovers.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees C/175 degrees F
Here's what you need:
-large glass or similar baking dish (see picture)
-Package of Tofu (I used 2 blocks so that I can have leftovers)
-1/3 Medium onion or more
-1 head of garlic
-1 inch of ginger or more
-1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
-splash of rice wine vinegar or ume plum vinegar
-sesame oil to cover tofu
-3 stems or so of cilantro/coriander
Optional
-10 cumin seeds
-sprinkle of cumin powder
-2 green (or red) chillies
Chop all ingredients (chop tofu in cubes - see picture), add liquid ingredients and toss together. I usually just mix everything in the dish that I'm using to bake it all in.

I'm trying to eat more healthy and incorporate tofu into my meals.

ok, so I have been checking out low-calorie foods of all kinds and I came across this particular type of 'pasta' that is apparently made of tofu and some type of yam extract. it is supposed to be a pretty decent substitute for real pasta and it has only 20-40 calories and 3g of carbs per pack!! doesn't that just sound too good to be true?

I'm trying to cook asian food and it's really been hit or miss. This was a hit I concocted last night that was good and healthy: One package cubed organic tofu splash of sesame oil with chili (hot stuff!!) Two passes of ginger over my cheese grater A couple of splashes of low sodium soy sauce I sauteed all that in a non-stick skillet until the tofu absorbed most of it. Then I added a tablespoon of peanut butter and a little more oil.
