Baking your tofu is a very easy way to prep this plant-based, high-protein, low-calorie powerhouse. It gives you a consistency that is perfect for all sorts of dishes that go beyond the standard East and Southeast Asian to even include Indian, Mexican, and Italian. The thing about tofu is that it takes on the flavor of the ingredients you cook it with, and if you can get the texture just right, you can do so much more with it.
Most know about pan frying. While I cook it this way as well, I do find that getting it seared just right can be a challenge on the stovetop. It can stick to your pan and requires oil. If you bake it instead, you are guaranteed a hands-free and mess-free experience. Who doesn't want that in the kitchen?
Your baked tofu keeps well in the fridge. So, bake an entire 19 ounces and store it for use throughout the week as a plant-based addition to everything from a stir-fry to salads, soups, and stews. I even use it in my Indian curries as a low-calorie substitute for paneer.
