Directions | Combine the first three ingredients in the dish, add the tofu in a single layer, and flip to coat both sides. Let marinate for 2 hours.

If you’re not concerned about tradition, I recommend baking the tofu in its marinade at 400 for 20-25 minutes. It won’t have the same shiny glaze, but I think it tastes even better.** Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot. |

** When I pressed the tofu and baked it without its marinade, I found it very dry. If you buck tradition and bake it in its marinade, go ahead and press the tofu.
