This tofu recipe is an old friend from "Recipes for an Ecological Kitchen" by Lorna Sass. This is an old cookbook (from 1992) that has been republished with a new name. It was my first vegan cookbook, before I even knew what a vegan was! There are lots of great recipes in it - I highly recommend it. Anyway, the recipe is "Oriental Baked Tofu." It is very simple - soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, water, garlic, ginger, Chinese five spice, sesame seeds. I have made it many times, but always in a glass baking dish. No wonder the tofu never browned! This time I baked it in cast iron, and magically it turned brown and chewy. Really delicious with rice, candied sweet potatoes, and broccoli.
Happy weekend!

Hi Susan,
I have an old large cast iron skillet that I use to make the best pan pizza :) A while back I was thinking of buying a pizza pan but I realized the cast iron skillet will do. It really makes the best pizza.
The magic of cast iron indeed :) :)
Cast iron is the best! Everything is so much better cooked in a cast iron pan, isn't it?
Cooking pizza in the cast iron pan - great idea! I love deep dish pizza!
Yum. This looks so good. I love cooking with cast iron.
And the cheeze I used on the pizza was grated.
You've reminded me that I don't use my cast iron pans often enough! Looks delicious.
