Marinated Tofu with Rice

Ingredients

• Soy sauce

  Made from soy (tamari)

  3 tbsp or 54g

• Ginger root

  Raw

  2 tsp or 4g

• Tofu

  Firm, prepared with calcium sulfate and magnesium chloride (nigari)

  1 tbsp or 21g

• Sesame seeds

Directions

1. Drain the tofu, cut in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into half-inch thick squares. Press out excess moisture by placing the tofu on a paper towel-lined cutting board, covering with more paper towels, and weighing it down with a heavy object.
2. Mix soy sauce and minced ginger in a bowl. Add tofu, cover, and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cook rice according to package instructions.
4. Remove tofu from marinade and place on a baking sheet, reserving the marinade.
5. Bake the tofu for about 8 minutes or until heated through. Drizzle with reserved marinade.
6. Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan immediately.
7. Serve rice in bowls, top with baked tofu, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
