Easy Baked Tofu

When baking tofu, it acquires a terrific, firm crust, while its interior gains the texture of a pleasant custard, almost egglike. It's basic, essential, and-for some reason-relatively unknown. Cooled and sliced or cubed, baked tofu is ready for anything: sandwiches, salads, stir-fries-you name it.

1 to 2 pounds firm tofu

any of the following seasonings:

- soy sauce

- miso paste thinned with water/sake/vegetable broth/white wine

- barbeque sauce

- teriyaki sauce

- ponzu sauce

- salt

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Dry the tofu by using a paper towel to blot off excess water, brush liberally with one of any of the above seasonings. Put it in a baking pan or a nonstick skillet.

2. Bake for about 1 hour, undisturbed. The tofu is done when the crust is lightly browned and firm. remove and use immediately or cool, wrap, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

This one's for you Daniel :) Enjoy!
