A Different Way to Enjoy Tofu: Warm, Savory, and Delicious Baked Delicacy
This warm and soft baked tofu is a must-try recipe, especially on chilly days! Its savory flavor and tender texture will make you rethink how you eat tofu. Treat yourself to this comforting dish that warms you from the inside out.
Main Ingredient- 1 block (approx. 11-14 oz) Silken Tofu
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delicious sauce. In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp chicken stock (you can substitute with water if chicken stock is unavailable), and 2 Tbsp olive oil. Whisk everything together until well combined and smooth. Preparing the sauce in advance allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 2
Carefully open the top of the tofu package. Gently slide the silken tofu out of its container and place it directly into an oven-safe dish. Handle the tofu with care to avoid breaking its delicate form.
Step 3
Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the silken tofu. Make sure to coat the surface thoroughly so that the flavors can penetrate into the tofu as it bakes.
Step 4
Place the tofu in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) and bake for approximately 20 minutes. The surface should become lightly golden, and the inside will be heated through. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven, so adjust as needed.
Step 5
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with parsley flakes or garnish with finely chopped green onions for a beautiful presentation and enhanced flavor. While optional, this step adds a lovely touch to the finished dish.
Step 6
This dish is best enjoyed immediately while it’s warm. Drizzle any extra sauce over the baked tofu as you eat – the savory, tender combination is incredibly satisfying. It’s a healthy dish that’s gentle on the stomach, and it’s also fantastic served over rice for a complete meal. Enjoy it as is for a light and healthy option!
