Ingredients
  

For the Tofu Bites:
  • 12 oz firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or your favorite chili paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons sunflower oil
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Start by draining your 12 oz of firm tofu. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Once pressed, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
  4. In a bowl, mix together the miso paste, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sunflower oil, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.
  5. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, gently tossing to coat each piece thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  6. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the marinated tofu cubes in a single layer on the sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Once baked, remove the tofu bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
  • For a soy-free option, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
