Epic & Ultimate Tofu

[skiriki]

So, today I noticed that I had some tofu I should use away before it rots away. Since I was going to do wokkish dish anyway, I figured I could make this as a some kind of sideshow to the main dish. And since my wokking proclivities were filling up the entire stovetop, I decided to tuck it into the oven instead.

• A block of firm tofu
• Peanut oil
• Salt
• Optional: various spices. Whatever you like, such as soy sauce or paprika, five-spice etc.

1. Cut tofu into neat blocks, about 1 cm thick, and 2.5 cm wide and tall.
2. Spread the blocks on a cutting board, place a dry cheese cloth or some paper over them and top with an another cutting block and pile on some weight. Let drain for an hour or hour and half.
3. Heat oven to 225 C.
4. Spread the blocks of tofu to a pan, on baking paper.
5. Smear the blocks with peanut oil and sprinkle with salt. Spice as you like.
6. Put into the oven for 15 minutes.
7. Turn heat to 250 C, and continue roasting for 10 minutes, until the blocks are golden and puffy.
8. Eat with things you like.
