About

This is packed full of flavour yet requires almost no work. The key is to press the tofu properly to drain away as much water as possible. This works very well served with a bowl of grains like barley or farro.

Method

Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F/Gas 7). Whisk together all the ingredients except the tofu and spring onions.

Cut the pressed tofu into 16 equal pieces. Put in a single layer in a shallow ovenproof dish. Cover with the marinade and gently turn each piece over to coat on all sides. <
