2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Yöntemler

Drain the tofu and press it for at least 30 minutes.

Cut the tofu into about sixteen squares. First, slice it in half, thickness-wise, then cut each slab into eight squares.

Place the tofu squares into a shallow dish.

Stir the tomato sauce, water, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl or container.

Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the tofu and gently stir to coat it. Let the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes (Note 1).

Preheat the oven to 350°.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then arrange the tofu squares in an even layer on the baking sheet.

Bake the tofu for 40 to 50 minutes, carefully flipping the pieces halfway through and spooning any excess marinade over them.

The tofu is done when the pieces have darkened and shrunken, and the marinade has thickened and significantly dried up.

Serve immediately or let the tofu cool before enjoying. The tofu will continue to firm up and improve in texture as it cools.
