Recipe: Chili Tofu

[INGREDIENTS]

* Extra-firm Tofu (1 block)
* Tumeric (1 tbsp)

* Garlic Salt (1 tsp)

* Oil (for greasing the cookie sheet)

* Chili Paste (4 tbsp)

* Water (4 tbsp)

* Organic Ketchup (1 tbsp)

* Lime Juice (1/2 lime)

* Sugar (1/2 tbsp)

[OPTIONAL]

* Green Onion (one stalk chopped thin for garnish)

[STEP 1]

Preheat oven to 450.

[STEP 2]

Press and drain your tofu block. Slice into 8 rectangles. Place those slices on paper towels and press out a little more liquid.

[STEP 3]

On a flat plate mix together the tumeric and garlic salt. Dredge the tofu slices in the tumeric mixture until all sides are coated. (If more is needed to cover all sides...mix up some more.)

[STEP 4]

Grease cookie sheet and bake tofu until edges are crispy and golden brown. About 40 minutes, flipping once.

[STEP 5]

Ten minutes before the tofu is done, stir together the chili paste and water in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Then stir in the ketchup, lime juice and sugar. Stir for a few minutes until saucy.

[STEP 6]

Once the tofu is done, drizzle the tofu with the chili sauce, garnish (if you like), and serve!
