Sesame Ginger Baked Tofu

This is a simple, healthy and flavorful marinade designed to prepare, set and cook the next day. Allow the tofu to marinate for no less than one hour to absorb all the flavors. These flavors incorporate fresh flavors inspired by Asian cooking. Serve on top of rice, noodles or on a vegetarian Chinese "chicken" salad for added protein.

Ingredients:
- 1 container of firm tofu, cut in spears or triangle shapes (for added fun)
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, pressed
- 3/4 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, minced
- 1.5 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro (optional)

Preparation:
1. In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, water, ginger, garlic and sesame oil
2. In a small casserole dish place the tofu slices and pour mixture over the tofu.
3. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and lightly grease a baking sheet. Carefully place each slice of tofu on the baking sheet and cook for approx 15-20 minutes. Add more additional sauce if needed.
