Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400° and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a clean kitchen towel atop a plate.
- Slice the tofu into 1 inch cubes and add to the paper towel lined plate.
- Cover the tofu with the towel, and place a heavy plate or pan atop the tofu. This will help drain out some of the moisture. Let sit for 10 minutes or all day in the fridge.
- Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients (less the toppings and the cornstarch) to a large bowl and mix well.
- Once the tofu is done draining, move from the towel and into the bowl. Toss to combine.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu, and toss the tofu until the starch is evenly coated.
- Add the tofu over to the prepared baking sheet and arrange in an even layer.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing the tofu halfway, until browned and crispy on the edges.
- Add any toppings and serve. Will hold in the fridge for 3 days, toss in a dry hot pan to reheat and re-crisp the tofu.

CRISPY LOW-FAT TOFU
This is more a technique than a recipe, but I've found it a GREAT way to get the texture & taste of the kind of fried/gilled tofu that works well on sandwiches, in Vietnamese and noodle dishes, etc. I'll post several of my favorite soaks/braises for this at some point.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu and slice it into three fillet-sized slices, long-ways.
- Now press these briefly, even just by hand. You want to get the overabundance of water out, but not all of it.
- Place the fillets in a bag, preferably not touching one another, but this isn't essential.
- Freeze until thoroughly frozen through. This usually takes overnight or all day.
- Take out a slice when you want to use it, and microwave it for 1-2 minutes. Drain the water, cut it into cubes or leave it as a fillet, and microwave it for another 1-2 minutes.
- Heat1 tsp oil per fillet or so, some (2-3 tbs) water, l and, if you like, some aromatics in a non stick skillet or wok.
- Add the hot tofu, toss to be sure the small amount of oil coats a bit, then cook.
- Press down on the tofu each time you flip the cubes with your spatula, releasing a little of the water or marinate each time.
- The tofu will get quite golden and crisp as a result of having some water left in it and microwaving. It's really cool, just try a few times to get the hang of the pressiing part.
- Add braising liquids or flavorings as desired.

Steps:
- Coat a cookie sheet with oil.
- Slice tofu lengthwise, about 1/4 inch thick, and pat dry.
- Put the sauce into a dish, and dip each piece of tofu into the sauce, coating it well (I used barbecue sauce, and it was tasty).
- Place the tofu on the cookie sheet in a single layer (Pieces can be touching, but should not overlap).
- Sprinkle on desired seasoning.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how crispy you like it.
- Some people like it very chewy, while others prefer it when it's still soft.
