- Take the tofu out of the package and put in a colander to drain. Cut the tofu in half lengthwise to make two thinner pieces. Put a double layer of paper towels on a cutting board, put the tofu on top and another double layer of paper towels on top of the tofu. Put a heavy object on top of the paper towels and let it press the water out for 10 minutes. Remove the paper towels and repeat again.
- Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut each piece of tofu into about 10 strips. Lay the tofu in a baking dish and pour the marinade over making sure all the tofu is covered. Let sit for 10-20 minutes. Then sprinkle pieces with 2 tsp Sesame Seeds.
- Slightly oil a baking sheet with the Peanut oil. Put the tofu on the baking sheet and bake 20 minutes on the first side, then turn and bake 10 minutes on the other.
- While the tofu bakes, use a food processor to mix all of the sauce ingredients together.
- Serve the tofu hot with the sauce for dipping.
