Teriyaki Baked Tofu
I do like tofu. But without a little doctoring, it is a top contender for most boring substance known to man. I've tried a few tofu marinades over the years, and this is my favorite.
What you will need

Peel ginger with a spoon and grate or chop to a fine paste.
5

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, start with the soy sauce.
6

Add the sesame oil.
7

Add the brown sugar.
8

Stir in the grated ginger.
9

Add the rice vinegar. Mix well.
10

Slice the tofu to around 1/4" thick.
11

Submerge the tofu slices in marinade. Chill for at least 20 minutes. Ideally, you would do this a day ahead of time so that you can let the tofu marinate overnight, but I find that 20 minutes is perfectly accceptable.

Preheat oven to 375°F
