1. Press the tofu. Take the tofu out of its packaging, drain, wrap in a clean cotton cloth or paper towels, place on a plate and place something heavy on top of it (I usually use a cast iron skillet). If you have a tofu press, use that instead. Keep it pressed for at least 15 minutes to get rid of most of the moisture.
2. Place the now dry tofu on a cutting board and cut into cubes or rectangles. I like to cut mu tofu into 2-inch rectangles but it’s up to you.
3. In a medium bowl prepare tofu marinade by whisking together 2 tablespoons soy sauce (tamari or coconut aminos), 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil and 1 teaspoon garlic-chili paste, if using. Add tofu blocks and stir carefully not to break the tofu too much with a silicone spatula to coat. If you have time or are prepping ahead of time, let the tofu marinade in the fridge for 15 minutes to a couple hours. If you’re short on time though, you can skip this step and cook the tofu right away.
4. Bake or air fry tofu. If baking in the oven, place the tofu on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or coated with non-stick spray and bake in 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, flipping tofu pieces once after 15 minutes. If you have an air fryer, preheat it to 375 degrees F. Spray the bottom of the basket with non-stick spray and add tofu blocks in a single layer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to promote even cooking. It should be crispy on the outside.
