Sweet Spicy Garlic Sauce

1. 1

   Tofu can be cooked a variety of ways and preferred firmness of tofu should be used; but here is the way I fix it is this setting.

2. 2

   Remove tofu brick from package. Fold several layers of paper towels. Lay tofu on paper towels and cover with another several layers of paper towels. Place a plate or pan on top for weight. Allow to dry for about 15 min.

3. 3

   Cut tofu brick in half, then slice again down the middle; making 4 fairly thin equal pieces.

4. 4

   Set oven to 350 and bake for approx. 25 minutes turning the tofu over half way through. Remove from oven. To get the tofu nice and crispy.

5. 5

   Pan fry the tofu, on high in a little olive oil and brown the top and bottom. Lower heat to low and add sauce allow to simmer till the sauce is warm. Serve over rice.

6. 6

   This sauce can be made a day before or while the tofu is in the oven.

7. 7

   Combine ingredients in bowl.

8. 8

   I use a very fine grater to mince garlic, onion and Ginger. This gets these ingredients into a fine mush which is easily incorporated with the liquid portion of the sauce.

9. 9

   This is mildly spicy so adjust sriracha amount or red-pepper to taste.
