- Pour the marinade into the tofu, and toss to coat.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until edges of tofu begin to brown.
- Remove from oven, and set aside until the vegetables are ready.
Stir Fry
- While the tofu is baking, heat sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the grated ginger and garlic, and cook for a minute, stirring.
- Add the frozen vegetables and stir the pan. Put the lid on and allow to cook for a few minutes, until the vegetables begin to thaw.
- Add soy sauce, stir, and replace lid. Reduce heat to medium, and cook 5-10 minutes, until the vegetables are hot throughout.
- Add tofu and stir to combine.
- Serve hot, garnished with cilantro and sesame seeds, as desired, over brown rice or another whole grain.
