Equipment

  • TofuBud (pressing tofu in 15 minutes)
  • Silicone brush
  • Non-stick baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 12 oz Firm tofu
  • 2 Tbsp Miso paste
  • 1 tsp Sriracha (or any other chili paste)
  • 1 Tbsp Soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tsp Rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp Sesame oil
  • 2 tsp Sunflower oil
  • ½ tsp Onion powder
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder

Instructions

Preparing the ingredients

  • Use a firm tofu and press it. 

Making the marinade

  • Take a glass bowl and mix all ingredients (miso paste, tamari, sriracha, onion powder, garlic powder, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sunflower oil). Mix it with a spoon or spatula.

Marinating the tofu

  • Use your fingers and tear the tofu slowly and gently. You can tear them first in half or tear off larger pieces, then create bite-size tofu at the end.
  • Take a glass bowl and arrange the tofu pieces evenly.
  • Pour the marinade over them and gently mix them. We use a silicone brush to make sure they are thoroughly covered.
  • Let the tofu marinate for 15 minutes.

Baking miso tofu

  • Preheat the oven to 390 Fahrenheit (ca. 199 °C).
  • Place the marinated tofu bites on a non-stick baking sheet/mat or parchment paper in a baking tray.
  • Bake them in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Take it out, toss and turn them to ensure all edges will get crispy.
  • Bake them in the oven for another 15 minutes.
