Yum 🥰 baked the tofu for 15 minutes on it's own, and then another 15 minutes with sauce as others suggested. Made up extra sauce and stirred it through a brown rice, peas and carrots mix to serve with it. The sauce is delicious 😋 very easy dish to make!

Makes leftovers

I liked this. I baked the tofu first as recommended and then added the sauce for the last 10 minutes. It was a bit chewy and the sauce got really thick. It was a bit strange but tasted good so that's all I can ask for. I might do this again? Not sure though.

Bake the tofu first, then add the sauce. That way it'll be crispy. I always switch up the sauce a little bit (I like to add hoisin or more chilli sometimes), but it's really good.
