Tofu can be a bit scary.

I'll be the first to admit that there's a learning curve when you start cooking with it.

The first few times I made it at home, I didn't realize most recipes require you to drain and press it to get the texture right.

Because of my ignorance, I had a few major fails of mushy and flavorless tofu!

My family hated it for a while because of this...

I couldn't even blame them!

I wanted to share this easy recipe with you because I think it's a simple introduction to cooking tofu at home.

This recipe does require that you press the tofu for an hour, but you don't have to marinate it (like a lot of other recipes).

Plus the sauce is super simple (3 ingredients) and delicious, so it makes for an easy weeknight meal.

In one of my older videos (for BBQ tofu), I show you how to press the water from tofu using heavy books...

Let me know what you think once you try this recipe! Enjoy :-)
