SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was great! I used Bragg's instead of soy sauce, though. I pressed my tofu and then cut it into cubes. I marinated it overnight in Bragg's, along with a splash of sesame oil and some powdered ginger. I baked it the next day at 350 for about 80 minutes or so (after 50 minutes, it was still sort of soft and spongy). My only complaint (and it's a minor one) is that it was SAAAAAAAAAALTY!! Do you think using a combo of half water/half Braggs or soy sauce would help? I don't know if the water would make it bad somehow. Anyway, thanks for a simple, delicious recipe!
Excellent. I followed the advice of other reviewers... a little garlic and vinegar, pepper... Goodness you would have thought we were a starving family the way we attacked this dish.
