2)Combine all marinade ingredients with a wire whisk.

3)Place tofu slices side-by-side in a glass baking dish and pour marinade over them. Marinade for at least 30 min. at room temp. (or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator).

4)Remove tofu from the marinade and place on an oiled bake sheet. Bake at 425deg. til well-browned, slightly crusty but still creamy within. Turn the slices once during the baking and, if desired, baste with a little more marinade. Baking will take 30-40 min. total.
