Oil-Free Teriyaki Marinade/Sauce

Oil-Free Teriyaki MARINADE for Baked Tofu:

1/2 cup water
3 T. low-sodium soy sauce
½ t. grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
2 T. date syrup or raw sugar

Combine all ingredients and marinade drained, pressed tofu cubes in it for at least 30 minutes. Then, bake the marinated tofu on a  baking sheet covered with Reynolds Non-Stick Foil at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of your tofu cubes. You want them to be a little crispy on the outside and not jiggly on the inside--but you don't want to totally try them out. 20-25 minutes is usually plenty of time to accomplish this.

Oil-Free Teriyaki SAUCE:
(Double recipe if making more than 2 servings)

1/2 cup water
3 T. low-sodium soy sauce
½ t. grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
2 T. date syrup or raw sugar
1 T. non-GMO cornstarch or arrowroot powder

NOTE: If using in a stir-fry, don't cook the sauce first. Just add it at the end to your stir-fried veggies and thicken in your skillet/wok.

Whisk all ingredients together in a small saucepan. Bring to a low boil just to thicken. Can store in the refrigerator for future use.
