• cooking spray
• 1 (12 ounce) package tofu
• 2 tablespoons Japanese low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step 2

Cover a plate with two paper towels. Place tofu on top and cover with two more paper towels. Place a heavy plate over the stack and let sit until liquid emerges from tofu, 5 to 30 minutes. Cut tofu into 1/2-inch strips.

Step 3

Combine soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger, and hoisin sauce in a large resealable plastic bag. Add tofu, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

Remove tofu from marinade and shake off excess. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Discard remaining marinade.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until firm, 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
