      1. Wash hands with soap and water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      4. While tofu is draining, combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger and vegetable oil in a small bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Slice tofu into 1\/2 inch thick slices. Place tofu slices on foil lined baking sheet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Pour soy sauce mixture over tofu. Using a spatula or pancake turner, gently turn slices over to coat both sides with sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      7. Bake tofu for 15 minutes. Turn slices over and bake for another 15 minutes. Tofu should be light golden brown and firm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
