Marinated Baked Tofu

1 lb. firm tofu
1/4 c tamari (soy sauce will work also)
1 tsp grated ginger
1/2 medium onion (or scallion, chopped
1 Tbs lemon juice or vinegar
1-3 cloves garlic; minced (optional)

Slice tofu into thin slices, 1/3 - 1/4 in. thick and put into a
marinating container that can be sealed and flipped over. Pour the
marinating ingredients over the tofu and marinate in the refrigerator
several hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

Place the slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with some of the marinade
and bake at 325F for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. Every
twenty minutes or so, flip the slices over and sprinkle with more
of the marinade. Cook until the slices are firm. You can also
continue baking until the slices are crunchy, which is an alternative
way to make this recipe.

This recipe can also be made teriyaki style by omitting the lemon
juice and using a sweetener. I used about a 1/2 cup of maple syrup
and was very happy with the results.
