Step 1

Use a firm tofu and press it.

Step 2

Take a glass bowl and mix all ingredients (harissa paste, soy sauce or tamari, maple syrup, ginger powder, lime juice, and freshly chopped mint leaves). Mix it with a spoon or spatula.

Step 3

After you pressed the tofu, cut them in half horizontally. Then cut them in half again and then diagonally to form triangles.

Step 4

If possible, take a glass bowl and layer the tofu slices in one layer.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the tofu triangles and gently mix them. We use a silicone brush or a spoon to cover it thoroughly.

Step 6

Let the tofu marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 7

When the time is up, use a slotted turner to take the marinated tofu slices out.

Step 8

Pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan and add tapioca starch.

Step 9

Cook it over medium heat on a stovetop until it is reduced to a thick sauce. It has to be syrupy and thick.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 390 Fahrenheit (ca. 199 °C).

Step 11

Place the marinated tofu slices on a non-stick baking sheet/mat or parchment paper in a baking tray.

Step 12

Bake them in the oven for 15 minutes.

Step 13

Take it out and spread the reduced marinade, aka the glaze, generously over both sides using a silicone brush or spoon. Flip and brush the other side as well.

Step 14

Bake them in the oven for another 15 minutes. Before serving, brush it again with the remaining glaze to get them sticky like in the photos.
