Baked Spicy Mustard Tofu
Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu
Sauce
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons old-fashioned mustard
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
Preparation
Place tofu in a paper towel to remove excess water.
Cut tofu into squares and bake in the oven on the bottom rack at 450°F.
After 15 minutes, flip the tofu pieces and bake for another 15 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside.
Mince 2 garlic cloves.
Fry garlic in a pan on medium heat for 1 minute.
Add 2 tablespoons old-fashioned mustard, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1.5 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon agave syrup, and 1 tablespoon sriracha, then cook for 3 minutes.
Add 1 cup water and 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari, turn the stove to high heat, and stir until the sauce reduces and thickens.
Once the sauce is thick enough, add the baked tofu pieces and mix until they are all covered.
Cook for 5 minutes on medium-low heat.
In the last minute, mix in 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil.
Tips
Aim for a light golden color on each side of the tofu for a bit of crispness.
