I received this from an email friend some time ago and just tired it last night. It was really good. I made an extra batch of the sauce, using the smaller amount of water and then boiled it to thicken. I should have just used even less water and then I would only have had to simmer it, instead of boiling it for so long. I used the 1/2 cup water for the tofu in the oven but I wanted the sauce mostly thickened and absorbed into the tofu and in the amount of cooking time it wasn't so I turned the oven up to 450 for a few minutes. Next time I will try using 1/3 cup water in the oven sauce. We ate it over brown basmati rice with steamed broccoli. This is going into my permanent recipe file.
Lynne KIMLAN BBQ - Made to approximate Chinese garlic spareribs. easy and quick and sinfully delish. 1 1lb block of tofu (firm to extra-firm NOT soft, medium or silken). There is a diagra m on how to cut the chunks into small triangles - you want chunks that are Chinese Sparerib sized. (I don't know how they were cut, I just cut them in triangles, put the sauce in a greased 9x13 pan and topped with the tofu, moving it around so some of the sauce sloshed over the top of the tofu.) In a baking dish combine: 2 to 4 cloves of garlic, chopped or pressed 1/4 (60 ml)cup dark soy sauce - it has to be good quality as it makes all the difference. I use Kikkoman 1/4 (60 ml) cup brown sugar 1/2 cup water (she uses 1/4 cup but we find that is not enough and makes them too strong but if you want that authentic really sticky strong sauce on them then use the 1/4 cup only) 2 Tbsp oil 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger 1/2 tsp raosted sesame oil (do not use more - it's very powerful) blend then toss in the tofu and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes. I have sauce still at the end bec. I use more water so if you use less water watch the sauce. If you want you can make a second batch of the sauce for pouring over. These are fabulous served on basmati rice! ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> You can search right from your browser? It's easy and it's free.
