Let's Cook

Step 1.
If desired, press: 14 ounces extra-firm tofu
-
Step 2.
Prepare: Thai-Style Lemongrass Marinade, Vietnamese-Style Marinade, Balkan Marinade, Becker Chicken or Pork Marinade, or Lemon Marinade

Step 3.
Cut the tofu crosswise into ½-inch-thick slabs and place in a wide saucepan (the tofu can be in more than one layer in the pan). Pour the marinade over the tofu. If the tofu is not submerged, add enough water to barely cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Use the tofu immediately, or let it cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Step 4.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step 5.
Remove the tofu from the marinade (reserve any leftover marinade for another use), allowing any excess to drip off, and place it on the baking sheet. Bake until the tofu has firmed up and is starting to brown, about 20 minutes.
