I love this recipe! I press the tofu before marinating, that should help with the overly watery issue....

Hi Scarlet! Thanks for your detailed comment, I really appreciate it. This is a very very old recipe and it sounds like it's a bit of a mess!

Just to start (before I retest it) I would double the marinade like you suggested. I'd also increase the amount of oil which will help with the crisping issue. And lastly I'd increase the cooking temp to 425° or 450°F and bake for 15-20 minutes, flip and bake for another 10-15 minutes (again that will help with the crisping issue). I think puréeing the marinade would be a good idea too. It's going to be hard to make the tofu crispy if there's large, watery chunks of tomato/onion/etc. With all that figured out you definitely won't need to bread the tofu (but you CAN always sauté/pan-fry it to speed up the process).

I'm really sorry the recipe didn't work for you, what a disappointment. I appreciate your comment, it'll help other people avoid the experience you had.

I had a few issues, though. First of all, the amount of marinade doesn't begin to cover 350 g of tofu. Would double it. Second, the tofu after marinating and baking remains soft and watery, not firm and dry as shown in the photo. Perhaps the type of salsa used makes the difference? I used a chunky salsa. It could be that this preparation only works with a very thin/pureed salsa (that would also address the quantity/coverage issue, perhaps), Even so, I don't get how it could firm up enough to use in a salad without either covering it also with some kind of flour or breading, and/or pan-frying it. Any suggestions?

350 grams! I apologize for not including that in the recipe. This is one of my earlier recipes and I wasn't as conscious of international readers. Thank you for commenting Elle!

In Australia, tofu comes in different pack sizes (typically 300g and 500g). I want to make sure I use the right size. Thanks!
