Baked Tofu Steaks

Step 1
Lay tofu cubes onto several layers of paper towel; top with more paper towel. Place something heavy onto the tofu to squeeze excess water from the tofu; let sit until the tofu is drained, 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step 3
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Toast sesame seeds in hot skillet until fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 4
Mix soy sauce, ginger, and sesame seeds together in a large pan. Marinate tofu in the soy sauce mixture until it absorbs some of the sauce, about 12 minutes per side.

Step 5
Spread marinated tofu onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6
Bake tofu in preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip, and continue baking until firm and heated through, about 15 minutes more.
