RECIPE OF TOFU

In this recipe I am going to tell that how can cook and baked delicious tofu at home and I am also sharing three easy ways to flavor your tofu. So, when it comes to making crispy baked tofu you always want to look for extra firm baked tofu. Extra firm tofu considers less amount of water in it because the drier the tofu the crispier it will be. So, I first recommend to look for a tofu which is pure organic with non-GMO. So first preheat your oven up-to 400-degree F. When you start un packing your tofu so will notice that it will come with a lot water so you have to dump all the water from it and put your tofu on the cutting board then slice your tofu into three pieces then lay it down and make to more vertical slices to create three rows and then rotate the board and cut it from another angle to make tofu in a square shape. The cube should be fairly uniform in size. The next step is to press the tofu which is simply mean to squish as much of the content of water remember the drier the tofu the crispier it is going to be then take towel and gently put cubes of your tofu on towel and just lays all the square individually on the towel because this the way to get much amount of water from the cubes of tofu then lie another towel over the cubes of tofu and put a round baking sheet a couple cast iron sheet skillets on the top because this is the way you can get all amount of water from the cubes of the tofu. In case if you didn’t have the iron skillet you can use teapot or anything that weight is going to work then just leave it for 15-30 minutes and then you will see when you remove both of the towel soaked all amount of the water from the cubes of the tofu and Cubes of the tofu become super dry so that’s mean we are going to season our tofu. First take medium size bowl and put 1 tea spoon of low sodium tamari or you can also use low sodium soya sauce in the place of tofu then put 1 tea spoon of avocado oil and ¼ tea spoon of  kosher salt and put ¼ tea spoon of black pepper and then ½ tea spoon of garlic powder then start gently whisk all together then put all cubes of tofu in this bowl and then toss all cubes and start marinade if you want delicious and crisped tofu then take 1 table spoon of corn starch and start mixing until any white powdery left over in the bowl. Incase if you don’t have corn starch or you don’t prefer to use it so you can also use arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch Because this is going to create another extra layer of texture outside of tofu which makes tofu looks delicious. Now take a rimmed baking sheet lined with some parchment paper and spread all the tofu cubes out on the baking sheet and making sure that they don’t touch each other and put the cubes into the 400-degree F for 30 minutes flipping them halfway through now when they are done cooking you are going to see that they look crisped and delicious and golden brown from the outside and the center of it is going to be nice and tender. You just give the tofu a couple of minutes to cool because it takes everything a chance to set up then you will get delicious tofu and it is ready to eat just like it because tofu has such a neutral flavor you can also toss them in just about any type of sauce that you want take this in a Brazilian direction. So, we are sharing top 3 flavors of tofu 1. Buffalo tofu 2. barbeque tofu 3. Teriyaki tofu

BUFFALO TOFU: For buffalo tofu put 2 TBLS buffalo wing sauce with 1 TBLS of blue cheese dressing and then gently toss all together in a medium size bowl and then put the baked tofu in the sauce then just mixed the tofu around the bowl and start coating the sauce on the tofu and put it on a platter along with some chopped up carrots and some chopped up celery and a little blue cheese dressing to make it look extra delicious

BARBEQUE TOFU: For barbeque tofu put 1 TBLS of BBQ sauce and then gentle toss all together in a medium size bowl and put the baked tofu in the sauce then just mixed the tofu around the bowl and start coating the tofu on the bowl but to make tofu more delicious put the cubes of the barbeque in the fresh ranch chopped salad and its just become the fresh crunchy simple and delicious and insanely satisfying

TERIYAKI TOFU: For Teriyaki tofu put 1 TBLS of teriyaki sauce and then put sriracha sauce in it to make cubes of tofu more delicious and then gently toss all together in the medium size bowl and put the baked tofu in the sauce then just mixed the tofu around the bowl and start coating the tofu in the bowl to make it more delicious put the tofu on the boiled rice in bowl along with steamed broccoli and then just pile the sesame seed.
