Step 1

Heat the oil, then fry the breaded tofu slices until golden brown on each side.

Step 7

Place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the tofu slices are fried.

Step 8

Cover the fried tofu slices with sauce and bake uncovered for 20 minutes (30 minutes if not using cheese).

Step 9

Top with cheese and bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is melted.
