Crispy Baked Puffed Tofu with Teriyaki Sauce Recipe

By Veegs

🔪Prep Time: 10 minutes

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Puffed Tofu

7 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed

½ cup vegetable broth

2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank’s)

¼ cup cornstarch

Dipping Sauce

2 tablespoons tamari

2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons maple syrup

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

1Puffed Tofu

2Turn the tofu on its side and cut through the center to make two rectangles. Flip them onto their flat sides and stack. Cut through the center, and without separating the halves, cut those two halves twice each. Make two equal-size cuts lengthwise. There are now twenty-four cubes. Place the cubes in a small flat casserole dish or other container in which all the cubes will fit on one level.

3Mix together the vegetable broth and hot sauce. Pour over the tofu. Marinate for an hour.

4Preheat the oven to 350°F.

5Place ¼ cup cornstarch in a medium bowl. Remove the tofu from the marinade and place on the cornstarch. Toss and then place the tofu on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Toss with a spatula every 10 minutes until golden and puffed.

6Dipping Sauce

7To a small saucepan, add ½ cup water, tamari, and cornstarch and heat on medium high. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn down heat to medium and cook, stirring until desired thickness. Place the tofu on a platter with toothpicks and dip into the sauce.

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
