The recipe for roasted tofu with lemon sauce from Chow Vegan is a delicious blend of tangy and savory flavors. Before being roasted to crispy perfection, the tofu is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, ginger, and garlic. The dish gets a zesty boost from the lemon sauce, which makes it a tasty and filling supper.
Ingredients: 1 block tofu, pressed and cut into cubes. 2 tablespoons soy sauce. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 tablespoon maple syrup. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1 teaspoon grated ginger. 1 clove garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon cornstarch. 1 tablespoon water. Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish.
Instructions: Set oven temperature to 400F 200C. Combine the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and maple syrup in a bowl. Toss the tofu cubes in the bowl to coat. Arrange the tofu cubes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake the tofu for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating it halfway through, or until it becomes crispy and golden brown. Stir cornstarch and water in a small saucepan until the cornstarch dissolves. Transfer the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan after pouring it into the marinade bowl. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens. When the tofu is cooked, move it to a platter and cover it with the lemon sauce. Before serving, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
