    Crispy and delicious Asian style Baked Tofu that is great for rice bowls, salads & sandwiches.

    Baked Tofu & Rice Bowl For the final day of this week's blogging marathon under 'Pick a protein' theme, I have a baked tofu recipe. This crispy tofu is very addictive and is great to serve on rice bowls, salads, sandwiches and as snack. Here I have served it over rice along with sauteed kale, grated carrot and a yummy tahini dressing.Asian style Baked Tofu

    Asian Style Baked TofuTofu is like a blank slate - it absorbs every flavor that is added to it. In this recipe, Asian condiments - sriracha, soy sauce, ginger and garlic are used. But you can change up the condiments and make different flavored tofu using the same technique. Recipe for this baked tofu is from 'the Kitchn' site.Asian style Baked Tofu

     

    Asian style Baked TofuI used this baked tofu in this tofu-broccoli salad that I posted last month. If you prefer crispy tofu, then toss it with cornstarch just before baking. I have to stop myself from snacking on these as they are very very addictive. If I have a dish in mind to use them in, I usually double the recipe otherwise I won't have enough. Do try this, I am sure you will love it as much as I do.

    bm-logoLets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked today for BM# 88.

      I too make something similar with quinoa for his lucnhbox. This version with tahini dressing sounds more inviting to try.

      I definitely prefer a crispier texture to my tofu, which is why I will usually stir-fry mine. But I'll be sharing this recipe with my parents, as they eat tofu regularly and enjoy it in all types of different ways

      Now, that looks like something I would enjoy for evening dinner. A bowl of rice with some colorful veggies and my favorite tofu. Love the flavors you have going. Saving this for later.

      What a great looking recipe -- very inviting and the photos make the dish drool worthy. I really hadn't thought of adding baked tofu to a rice bowl, but it makes sense. This would make a great lunch for us.
