Pineapple Tofu

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Step 2

Press all the liquid out of your tofu. I rarely do this, but when I do I put the tofu on a plate that has edges (so no liquid escapes) and then I place a paper towel on top, and then another plate and something to weigh it down (like a full tea kettle). I let the tofu press for 30-60 minutes. You can also buy a tofu press for this!

Step 3

Cut the tofu into 1' cubes. Slice the pineapple into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Make the glaze by stirring together the sambal oelek and kecap manis until fully combined.

Step 5

On a well-greased or foil lined baking sheet, evenly spread out the tofu cubes and the pineapple pieces. Cover them with the glaze and toss until all the pieces are covered.

Step 6

Bake the tofu at 400F for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.

Step 7

The tofu is done with the glaze is thick and dark and the tofu has crisped slightly at the edges. Take out of the oven and toss one last time.

Step 8

Top the tofu with finely chopped scallions. Serve with rice or greens!
