Crispy Tofu and Box Choy Salad

Baked tofu is wonderful. Instead of the soft, gooey, flavorless mess that people usually describe, you get a rich and flavorful little cube that has crunchy outsides. It’s almost like adding meaty croutons to a salad – really a joyful experience Recipe from ruled.me

Oven Baked Tofu

  • 15 oz tofu extra firm

  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • lemon - juices from 1/2
