- Cut the tofu into sticks or cubes.
- Create the marinade by mixing together all of the olive oil, soy sauce, chili paste and any optional additions. You add additional spices of your choosing to make the dish as spicy or as mild as you would like.
- Marinate the tofu for as little as 20 minutes or as long as overnight. Toss the tofu so that it is evenly coated in the marinade.
- Spread the tofu on a cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for 20-45 minutes. Depending on the size, shape, and variety of tofu, it will take varying lengths of time to cook. Check it regularly and remove from oven when tofu is chewy.
