Tofu veggie bowl

 I love the tofu cooked this way.

Ingredients for baked tofu;

15 ounces extra firm tofu pressed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

4 teaspoons cornstarch 

2 teaspoons maple syrup 

2 teaspoons rice vinegar 

Optional 4 teaspoons sesame seeds

Tahini ginger sauce

3-6 tablespoons tahini depending on your taste

3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon maple syrup 

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon rice vinegar 

2 teaspoons powdered ginger

The sauce is good even without the ginger for a variation.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375. Cube the tofu (after you have pressed out the water.)

In a large bowl mix the ingredients listed for the baked tofu.- the soy sauce, cornstarch, maple syrup, vinegar 

Mix the tofu into the mixture and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes then flip and bake another 30 minutes or until desired crispness.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Assemble a rice bowl if desired using cooked rice and vegetables of choice. We used;

1:2 a baked sweet potato, garden peas, sautéed orange bell pepper and onion.

Mix your sauce ingredients and drizzle each serving.
