Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Remove the tofu from the package.

Step 3

Place it between two towels or a few paper towels and put a heavy object on top. (See notes for suggestions)

Step 4

Let the extra liquid press out of the tofu for ideally 30 minutes.

Step 5

Once pressed, cut the tofu into cubes and add to a bowl.

Step 6

Toss with the soy sauce, pepper and corn starch and make sure every piece is well coated.

Step 7

Add to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Try to make sure none of the tofu cubes are touching. This ensures they get nice and crispy and don't stick together.

Step 8

Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 9

During the final 15-20 minutes of baking, prepare the sauce. Let it come to room temperature before adding to the tofu.

Step 10

When the tofu is done, transfer to a bowl and toss with the sauce, saving a bit to add to rice and veggies if desired.

Step 11

Serve with rice, broccoli, or veggies of choice.
