Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package tofu
2 tablespoons Japanese low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1.5 tablespoons hoisin sauce
cooking spray

Instructions

Place tofu on a plate covered with paper towels, then cover with more paper towels. Press with a heavy plate for 5-30 minutes to remove excess water. Cut tofu into 1/2-inch strips.
In a large resealable bag, mix soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger, and hoisin sauce. Add tofu, coat well, remove excess air, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Take tofu from the marinade, shake off excess, and arrange on the baking sheet. Discard the remaining marinade.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until firm.
