Baked Coconut Tofu Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees and lightly brush a large rimmed sheet pan with oil.
• In a small bowl, stir 4 tablespoons lime juice with 1/2 teaspoon salt until salt dissolves. Add the sliced peppers, a few cracks of black pepper and set aside.
• In a small pot, combine the rice with 1 cup water and the coconut milk. Season with salt and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over medium-low until the rice is just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, until ready to serve.
• In a medium bowl, whisk 4 tablespoons lime juice with the peanut butter, miso, ginger, fish sauce (if using), habanero, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon honey and 3/4 cup water. Stir until smooth and season to taste with salt.
• Arrange the tofu pieces in a single layer on the oiled baking sheet and season with salt. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the peanut sauce over each, covering the top and allowing the sauce to run down and coat the sides. Drizzle the tops with some oil, and roast until glaze is set, deep brown and caramelized along the edges, 18 to 20 minutes. Add the remaining lime juice and 1 tablespoon honey to the leftover peanut sauce in the bowl to make the dressing; set aside.
• Divide the greens among bowls. Add the lime zest and half the sliced scallions to the rice, then fluff with a fork. Top the greens with the rice, then the tofu. Spoon the peanut dressing over everything, and garnish with the drained pickled peppers and remaining sliced scallions.

Steps:

• Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Purée coconut milk, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, salt, sugar, turmeric, coriander, and cayenne in a blender until smooth.
• Squeeze tofu over a medium bowl or sink with your hands, gently at first, then more firmly to expel as much water as possible (like squeezing out a big sponge). Don't worry if it starts to crack apart. When no more liquid comes out, tear tofu into 2" pieces; discard liquid. Place in a shallow 13x9" baking dish. Add cabbage and carrots, arrange in an even layer, and pour sauce over.
• Bake, basting the vegetables and tofu halfway through, until carrots are fork-tender, most of the liquid is evaporated, and the top is golden brown and lightly charred in places, 40-45 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Top with coconut chips (if using). Serve with rice and lime wedges alongside (if using).

Steps:

• Remove white parts of green onions, and finely chop. Chop greens into 2 inch pieces.
• In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, mix coconut milk, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, ginger, and chile paste. Bring to a boil.
• Stir tofu, tomatoes, yellow pepper, mushrooms, and finely chopped green onions into the skillet. Cover, and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in basil and bok choy. Season with salt and remaining soy sauce. Continue cooking 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender but crisp. Garnish with remaining green onion.

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, milk and miso in a bowl. Add tofu to milk mixture. Cover and chill for 2 hours. Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine coconut and flour and coat tofu. Place on sheet. Coat with cooking spray and bake until golden, 35 to 45 minutes, turning and coating other side after 20 minutes. Whisk tamari, sugar, ginger, pepper flakes and 1 cup hot water in a bowl. Wrap tofu, cilantro and carrots in lettuce and dip in tamari sauce.

Steps:

• Drain tofu and cut into thin slices. Heat oil over medium heat. Cook tofu in a single layer without stirring about 5 minutes or until slightly browned on bottom. Stir gently. Then continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thouroughly cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
• While tofu is cooking, prepare sauce by mixing coconut milk, cilantro, curry paste, curry powder, chili sauce, soy sauce, and garlic.
• Add veggies and sauce and cook, stirring, until veggies are barely wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
• Serve with brown rice and garnish with extra cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a square baking pan (8x8 ish).
• Melt the coconut oil so that it is completely liquid. I do this using the microwave on about half of it, and then mixing in other half which melts in and reduces the overall temperature. Set aside to cool (but not reharden).
• In a bowl combine the dry ingredients - flour, arrowroot, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
• Empty the tofu into a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk, mix it with the sugar, and soy milk, followed by the oil which should be cooled down enough by now.
• Add the dry ingredients into the wet, combine well but don't overmix. Fold in the shredded coconut.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle about a tsp of sugar overtop. Bake for about 35 minutes - do the toothpick test to be sure.

Steps:

• Remove tofu from package and slice horizontally into 5 slices. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set tofu on top. Place more paper towels on top of the tofu and weigh down tofu with a flat and heavy object. Press tofu for at least 1 hour or overnight to remove as much liquid as possible.
• Transfer tofu to a deep dish. Whisk together water, beef base, and hoisin sauce. Pour over tofu and marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Discard marinade and pat tofu dry. Slice tofu into 1-inch cubes and place on the prepared baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Meanwhile, combine spinach, tomatoes, chili sauce, yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, and basil in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth. Refrigerate sauce to cool.
• Meanwhile, bring coconut milk and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Serve tofu and rice with spinach sauce on side for dipping.
