Instructions
- Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Preheat oven to 400 °F.
- Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- To make marinade: In a 1-gallon plastic bag, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and water. Seal the bag tightly. Squeeze and release the bag several times to mix ingredients together.
- Add tofu cubes to marinade. Seal the bag tightly. Lightly toss tofu by turning the bag over repeatedly on a flat surface to prevent tofu from breaking apart. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour at 40 °F or lower. Turn bag over every 15 minutes.
- In a separate 1-gallon plastic bag, combine whole-wheat flour, cornmeal, dry mustard, and garlic powder. Seal the bag tightly. Shake to mix.
- Carefully remove tofu from marinade a few cubes at a time. Place tofu cubes in the 1-gallon plastic bag with the seasoned flour-cornmeal mixture. Carefully turn the bag over to coat the tofu with breading. Remove coated tofu cubes and place on baking sheet in a single layer. Repeat until all tofu cubes are coated. Discard any remaining marinade. (See chef tips)
- Bake for 15 minutes or until tofu is lightly crisp. Heat to an internal temperature of 140 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds. Remove from the oven.
- Serve ¾ cup. Serve immediately, or keep warm at 140 °F or higher.
