Ginger Sesame Marinade

Slice and thoroughly dry the tofu before applying marinade.

Ideally the marinade sits on ~1 lb. of tofu cut into ΒΌ"-thick slices for at least 30 minutes (possibly in a gallon bag or even on the baking sheet), but you can also dip and then cook the tofu dominoes right away.

You can grill or bake the tofu (bake it on parchment for easier cleanup). Cook it until it is as dry as you prefer. You don't need to turn baked tofu while cooking, but you absolutely can.

Ingredients Step
2 T. tamari
2-4 t. maple syrup
2 t. sesame or walnut oil
2 t. vegetable oil
1 T. ginger, finely grated
1-2 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 T. rice vinegar (optional)		 Mix marinade.
