1 lb Tofu, firm
1 1/2 ts Ginger, fresh -- grated
1 t Roasted sesame oil
1 Garlic clove (or more)
-minced
2 tb Tamari, or more to taste
1 1/4 c -- water
1 1/2 tb Arrowroot
Slice the tofu into small rectangles of 1/4--1/2-inch
thickness and place them in a shallow dish or baking
pan.
Mix together the ginger, sesame oil, garlic, tamari,
and water. Pour this mixture over the tofu and let
itmarinate for at least 30 minutes. (If desired, the
tofu may be placed in the refrigerator to marinate for
several hours or overnight).
Remove the marinated tofu from the liquid, reserving
the liquid to make the sauce. Place the tofu on a
well-oiled cookie sheet and bake at 375 deg for 35-40
mintues, or until the desired crispness is reached
(the longer the tofu bakes the firmer and crisper it
becomes).
To make the sauce, mix the arrowroot with the
marinade. Place the mixture in asmall saucepan and
bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until
thickened.
Ginger Tofu may be served with or without the sauce.
With the sauce, serve it over a bed of rice, millet,
buckwheat, or pasta. Add your favorite stir-fried
veggies and you have a colorful or nutritious meal.
Ginger Tofu may also be added to a vegetable stew.
