Ingredients

4 servings

For the tofu

1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu

For the marinade

3 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
1 tsp rice vinegar
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Can be omitted
red pepper flakes

For serving

1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Ingredient note
Scallions are the mildest of the onion family, and only a small amount is used here. That is likely fine for most people with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Drain the tofu and press it firmly between several layers of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, pressing down with your hands or setting a heavy pan on top, for at least 20 minutes until no more liquid releases. Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.
