Ginger Garlic Tofu

1 block of firm tofu

For the sauce...
2 teaspoons of ground ginger
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 teaspoons of cornstarch
1/4 cup of agave
1/3 cup of water
1/3 cup of soy sauce

I usually serve this with brown rice and roasted broccoli and pineapple. But it would go well with noodles and any other veggies as well.

Press the tofu to get rid of excess water. You can do this with a clean cloth or paper towels. Wrap up the tofu and then put it on a plate. Place another plate on top of the tofu. Then place an object like a can of vegetables on top of this plate so that it presses down on the tofu. Leave for about 10 or 15 minutes. Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into thin slices. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and spread out the tofu on it. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping the tofu over halfway through. (It may stick a little so be gentle when flipping it and it is best to use a metal spatula). While the tofu is cooking, gather up the rest of the ingredients and cook them together in a saucepan until thickened. Once the tofu is finished baking, pour the sauce over the tofu.
