Tools You Will Need For This Recipe:

Should I Use Oil Or Not?

Some vegetable oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids. Scientists have hypothesized that eating too much omega-6 can lead to increased inflammation in the body and potentially contribute to disease. Oils are processed with very little to no nutrients. Due to this many people use oil sparingly or not at all.

The use of oil in this recipes helps the tofu go a dark golden brown and crisp up when it comes out of the oven. Using water in place of oil is an option. The tofu will be just as delicous, however the tofu will not be as dark brown as the ones used with oil. See the bottom photos for comparison.

Baking — This Savoury Tofu was baked without the use of oil. Notice it is lighter in color.

What Is Tofu?

Tofu is a food made of condensed soy milk that is pressed into solid white blocks in a process quite similar to cheesemaking. It originated in China.

Rumor has it that a Chinese cook discovered tofu more than 2,000 years ago by accidentally mixing a batch of fresh soy milk with nigari. Nigari is what remains when salt is extracted from seawater. It is a mineral-rich coagulant used to help tofu solidify and keep its form.

Tofu is high in protein and contains all of the essential amino acids your body needs. It also provides fats, carbs, and a wide variety of vitamins and minerals. (Healthline)
