How to make Vietnamese-Style Marinated and Baked Tofu Rice Bowl
-
Combine the tofu marinade ingredients. Line the tofu slices in a dish and pour the marinade on top. Cover and marinate for up to one day/overnight if time allows. Reserve the extra marinade.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425ºF and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Line the marinated tofu slices on the baking tray and bake for 10 mins. Flip the slices and bake for another 10 mins.

While the tofu is baking, prepare the rice: cut open and microwave two packs of Tilda Steamed Jasmine Rice for 2 mins each. Mix in the finely chopped basil, salt, and pepper.
