Steps

1

Wash hands with soap and water.

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Drain water from tofu. Wrap tofu in paper towels. Let set for about 5 minutes.

While tofu is draining, combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and vegetable oil in a small bowl.

5

Slice tofu into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place tofu slices on foil lined baking sheet.
