I must admit, I was never a big Tofu fan until a few years ago. Actually my sister-in-law is the one that got me hooked on it. She’s Japanese and an amazing cook.
One day I was visiting them and she whipped up a wonderful Asian vegetarian dish with Tofu that was incredibly flavorful.
The Tofu I had in the past I thought to be very bland. So I asked her how she made it so flavorful. She told me it’s all about the marinade. Ahhhh why didn’t I think of that before? I had never thought of marinating Tofu… I guess I’m a little slow to the party. 🙂
So for this recipe I used a simple marinade with Sesame Oil, Tamari, and Ginger. You only need to marinade this for about 10 minutes, don’t go any longer or it can tend to get mushy.

Then bake the Tofu for 40 minutes at 400 degrees turning half way through. (Full recipe below)
After I let these cool for a bit I taste tested one. OMG I was hooked! These were crispy little bites of heaven! I seriously could have just ate the Tofu bites by themselves.
But I already had the bowls put together with Sushi Rice, Avocado, Carrots, Red Cabbage, and Cucumber. So I just added the Tofu to my bowls and topped it with Spicy Mayo. Yum Yum Yum!
