Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
- 2. Wrap the block to tofu in paper towels, set on a deep plate, and place a grill press on top of the block. This is to press the liquid out of the tofu. If you don't have a grill press, place another plate on top of the tofu block, along with 2-3 cans of soda. Press the tofu for 15 minutes, then remove the paper towels and discard the liquid. Slice the tofu into cubes.
- 3. Make the marinade by combining the soy sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha, garlic, and ginger in a bowl, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. (I always recommend doubling the marinade, however, because it's nice to have extra to pour on top of your rice for dinner!)
- 4. Toss the tofu in this marinade and let it absorb for 15-20 minutes. Toss a few times in between.
- 5. Carefully remove the tofu and spread it out on a baking sheet. Make sure there isn't a lot of liquid on the pan, or it will burn. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the outside starts to brown and crisp. If you're worried about sticking, spray the pan with canola spray.
