Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: New to Tofu ... any suggestions for EASY recipes?

Hi, I"m brand new here, but I cook a lot and love tofu. I bake mine. I use ginger, garlic, low sodium soy sauce or shoyu, a little organic sesame oil (a tiny bit of this goes a very long way, and some mirin or rice wine. Using fresh tofu, the kind that is water packed, drain it, and cut the brick in half. Press it in paper towels between two plates with some weight (a can is enough) on the top one. This will remove some of the water and make it soak up the flavorings better. Then, pat it dry, slice each half in half again, so you have four slabs about 1/2 inch thick. Place these flat in an ovenproof pan, and pour the marinade over it. You should have enough marinade to come halfway up the sides. marinate for 30 minutes, turning once, and then back, in the sauce, at 450 for 30 minutes. Turning once again. It will get rather brown on the outside, and should soak up all the sauce. This is great on anything - sandwiches, stirfries, or in spring rolls.

Please let me know if there are any ingredients that are questionable here - I am just starting here and love cooking - it is a whole new challenge to learn to coo in a way that won't make me sick but I'm up for it!
