Sweet Soy Baked Tofu Bites

IMG 7544 Sweet Soy Baked Tofu Bites Recipe
Instead of using your typical protein sources like meat and chicken, I decided to pair this amazing sauce with tofu. Tofu is great source of protein and a nice way to keep your taste buds entertained! Many people claim that tofu is bland and lacks flavor. I personally love it, but I can see where the lack of flavor may be an issue for many. This sweet soy sauce actually seeps into the tofu as it bakes and ensures that every bite is anything but lacking in flavor! Everyone loves the sweet, sugar-packed sauces that come with most Aisian inspired meals but when trying to maintain or achieve the optimum physique, these dishes are definitely something to stay away from! Try out this recipe to get you’re Aisian fix!
