The other day, I was thinking of what to cook for my vegan friends. Then an idea came to me. Marinate Fried Tofu with my ‘Char Siu’ Sauce, which I am very proud of, then bake it in the oven. ‘It would be super easy and delicious,’ I thought. Today I tried to cook it. I used Fried Firm Tofu that was already cut into large bite-size pieces. I highly recommend this delicious dish for not only Vegan people but also everyone to try.

Steps

20 minutes plus marinating time

1

Place Fried Firm Tofu in a colander, pour boiling water over and remove unwanted Oil, OR you can simply rinse under hot tap water. If you use a large block, cut into large bite-size pieces.
2

Combine all the ‘Char Siu’ Sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl OR container, add Tofu pieces, coat them with the Sauce all over, then set aside for 1 hour, mixing them occasionally.
3

Preheat oven to 220℃. Line a baking tray with baking paper, place Tofu pieces on the tray, and start baking.
4

The Sauce is now probably watery as water came out form Tofu. Cook the Sauce in a small frying pan until thickens. You can place it in a heat-proof bowl and heat it up in the microwave until thickens.
5

Take the Tofu out from the oven, spread some Sauce on each Tofu pieces, then bake for 10 to 15 minutes OR until nicely browned.
