Indispensable Baked Tofu

I must use this recipe 2-3 times a week, to add protein to any dish. It takes away that random tofu-texture, and offers a flavorful "fried" taste....

First: Choose your Marinade

a) Teriyaki (for this, I use Trader Joe's "Soyaki")

b) Spicy Soy (use Soyaki with 2 tsps Sriracha)

c) Barbecue
1 T veg oil, 1 T soy sauce, 1/2 cup bbq sauce

d) Lowcountry
1 T veg oil, 1 T old bay

e) Chipotle
2 T veg oil, 2 T soy sauce, 2 T chopped chipotles in adobo sauce, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Second: Bake that tofu!
-Preheat oven to 400
-Drain 1 cake of extra firm tofu (16 oz), and cut into 1/2 in (or so) cubes
-Lightly oil a baking dish (I use a 9x9 pyrex)
-Pour 1/3 of your chosen marinade in dish, arrange tofu in single layer atop
-Cover with remainder of marinade
-Bake 20 mins, toss, bake another 20 mins
