Baked tofu
Baked tofu is a versatile dish that can be used in a variety of recipes. It is a popular dish in Asian cuisine, and has a long history dating back to ancient China.
Baked tofu was first mentioned in a Chinese text from the 4th century BC. The text, called the "Mao shi", described a dish made with tofu that was baked in an oven. Tofu was first introduced to Japan in the 8th century AD, and the dish soon became popular there as well.

Advice
Baked tofu is a delicious and healthy alternative to many traditional proteins. To make the best baked tofu, start by pressing the tofu to remove as much moisture as possible. Then, cut the tofu into cubes and toss it in a mixture of olive oil and your favorite seasonings. Spread the cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through. For added flavor, brush the cubes with a marinade or sauce before baking. Enjoy your crispy and flavorful baked tofu!
