Found this online a couple of years ago and it is probably my most made tofu recipe. Easy to prepare and delicious. Once you've made this, you can adjust individual ingredients to your liking. I sometimes add just a little more peanut butter. (Preparation time includes marinading time)

750

g extra firm tofu (I have used 500g succesfully)
¹⁄₄

cup peanut butter
¹⁄₂

cup low sodium soy sauce
¹⁄₄

cup boiling water
2

garlic cloves, crushed
¹⁄₂

teaspoon vinegar
2

tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1

teaspoon of grated fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
2

teaspoons maple syrup
¹⁄₄

teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

DIRECTIONS

Press as much moisture out of the block of tofu as you can.
Mix all other ingredients in a shallow baking dish.
If your marinade ingredients are not blending well together, try warming them just a little in the microwave. This will soften the peanut butter a bit and they should all blend well together.
Cut tofu into approx 1/4 inch (1 cm) slices.
Lay the tofu slices into the marinade and carefully turn to coat all pieces evenly.
Place into fridge to marinade for at least 1 hour.
bake at 180C (350F) for 25-30 minutes.
