Crispy Sesame Ginger Everything Bagel Tofu

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 14 oz extra-firm tofu
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

1. Press the tofu between two plates lined with paper towels for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
4. Whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
5. Pour the sauce over the tofu cubes and gently toss to coat evenly.
6. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the tofu and toss again until each piece is well coated.
7. Arrange the tofu in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and caramelized.
9. Serve immediately over rice or in bowls with steamed vegetables.

Notes

Pressing the tofu is essential for achieving a chewy, restaurant-style texture.
