Ingredients
-
1 pound extra-firm tofu
Braising sauce:
1/4 c water
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 T fresh lemon juice (1 lemon)
2 T soy sauce
A spray bottle of olive oil or 1 scant teaspoon olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to broil.
Cut the tofu into triangles, like so: Slice widthwise into four equal slices. Cut each of those slices in half, widthwise, so that you have eight squares. Lastly, cut each of those squares in half diagonally to make sixteen triangles.
Mix all of the ingredients for the braising sauce together in a small bowl.
When the broiler is good and hot, spray a thin layer of olive oil on the bottom of an oven-safe pan or small rimmed baking sheet. (If you don't have a spray bottle, then just use a paper towel to spread a very thin coating of olive oil on the pan.)
Dip each piece of tofu in the braising liquid and place in the pan. Put the pan in the broiler and cook for about 10 minutes, until the tofu is lightly browned. Remove the pan and pour a few spoonfuls of braising liquid over the tofu (no need to turn it.) Put back in the oven for 3 more minutes, then repeat with the remaining braising liquid. Cook for about 3 more minutes- at this point the tofu should be golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve.
