Instructions

  1. 1

  3. 3

    Slice the tofu into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C)

  7. 7

    Place the marinated tofu pieces on bamboo skewers, then place them over a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure there is space underneath the tofu to help distribute the heat more evenly.

  8. 8

    Bake for about 15 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges.

  9. 9

    Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat, and sauté the onions, ginger, and garlic until tender but not browned.

  10. 10

    Add the spices for about 30 seconds to release their aromatics and flavor, stirring constantly.
