If you don’t have liquid smoke, you can use additional soy sauce for a similar depth of flavor.
For a gluten-free option, use cornflour instead of regular flour.
Make sure to slice the tofu evenly to ensure even baking and crispiness.
Can I use a different type of tofu?
Extra firm tofu works best for this recipe as it holds its shape and texture during baking. Softer tofu may not yield the same chewy texture.
What can I use instead of honey?
You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover tofu, sauce, and vegetables separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble fresh when ready to eat.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the tofu and sauce in advance. Reheat the tofu in the oven or a skillet before assembling.
What other toppings can I add?
Feel free to add lettuce, pickled vegetables, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
