My husband said he would eat it again, enough said. I did change the recipe slightly. I pressed the tofu first for an hour and a half to get out the extra water. Based on other reviews, I reduced the amount of soy sauce to 1/8 cup and the amount of sesame oil to 1/8 cup. I only used 1 tsp of paprika and used one cube of frozen ginger. I marinated it for about 6 hours and then baked it. It was really nice. Served with quinoa, edamame peas, sliced wasabi/soy sauce almonds and fresh parsley.

I used grated fresh ginger and pressed a few garlic cloves into the marinade. I also subbed 1/4 cup of Olive oil for part of the oil, but kept the paprika and sesame seeds the same. I marinated the tofu, after giving it a short pressing, over night. My DH said 4.5 stars, but when I told him I can't do half-stars, he said, give it 5. I also baked it on a rack on a sheet pan. Update, Sept. 2009 - We've been making this for two years now and the marinade has evolved. I went back to using the dried garlic and ginger, as they seem to have more punch. I sometimes add some lime juice and dry sherry.

I liked this recipe but I do not think my husband did. It was much to oily for me though. Next time I will use alot less sesame oil.

Easy and quick to prep recipe. I only only had time to marinate for about 30 minutes and it was still good. My favorite part was using the leftovers for sandwiches.

Very good recipe. I marinated my tofu for about 10 hours. I didn't have any sesame seed, and I used canola with 2T sesame oil because that's all I had. I also used fresh ginger. DH thought this was much too salty, I thought it was a bit. Next time I won't use as much soy sauce! Thanks!
