November 19, 2011- Soy Sauce Marinated Tofu with Roasted Asparagus

Tofu marinated in soy sauce with Roasted Asparagus (Vegan)

So at least every week we try to have 3 or 4 vegan meals a week. Some weeks are better than others. I think last week was not as good of a week, maybe only two vegan meals. This dinner is a classic for us. You just put some soy sauce on the tofu and put it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. The asparagus is just tossed with some olive oil and a little salt and pepper and roasted for 25-30 minutes and voila! Dinner! We also had some leftover focaccia so we had that on the side.

Tips for tofu: we always buy extra firm and it is important to press the tofu between two plates wrapped in some paper towels, with weight on top for about 15-20 minutes. This gets a lot of the extra water out of the tofu and makes it more absorbent for your marinades.
