So there's always a lot of fuss around tofu. I want crispy tofu. I want my tofu to taste like chicken.
How about you double freeze the tofu? How about you double thaw the tofu? How about I take a look at
the ground and just slam this mother. Or how about we just make tofu taste like some really good tofu?
YEAHHHHHHHHH.

All right so we're gonna make some dangerously good tofu. Start out by cranking the oven up to 425
to preheat. So here's all the tools and ingredients you're gonna need to make this recipe. Blackberries,
water, ginger, lemon, maple syrup, cooking oil, tofu, salt and pepper, small saucepan, strainer, small bowl,
baking sheet, or oven safe skillet and some basic utensils. All right so first thing for
me I like to do when making a recipe, is I don't only get all the ingredients out but I also get
everything measured out, this way everything I need is already set. We're going to start out making our
glaze. Put your saucepan on the stove. Turn it up to medium heat. Now throw in your blackberries, fresh
or frozen work here. Water, ginger and lemon. Combine that all together and allow it to come to a boil.

All right, now that it's boiling. We're going to turn it right down to a simmer
and give those berries some time to break down. When that's ready
you're going to empty the mixture into a strainer. Now take the back of a spoon or
even a spatula like I'm using and you're gonna push the juices out into a small bowl.

All right let's get that back into the saucepan at this point. And let's sweeten it a bit. Add
your maple syrup right on top and give it a stir. Feel free if you don't like maple syrup or maybe
it's too expensive where you are to use any other sweetener you want. Sugar, brown sugar whatever you
got there. Just like before, you're gonna now turn the heat on to bring that up to a boil, and then
right back down to a simmer again. This time around we want the glaze to thicken up but also we want
to enhance that flavor so we're gonna give it some time to reduce. Once that's ready, remove it from
the heat and allow it to cool. While you're waiting on your sauce to cool, it's a great idea to get
something else prepared so that way you can have them together. So you could do rice, or even like
small potatoes, but me personally I'm not a fan of million dishes, I'm just not so typically I'll
pair this up with asparagus. What's nice about this is i could put it in the very same dish
and have them cook up at the same time. Which also means they'll be done at the same time. At this
point get your oven device of choice. You can do a baking sheet, I chose to do a cast iron skillet. Now
get that device ready along with your tofu so that way you can brush on that beautiful sauce.

Brush it onto your tofu. Make sure you go along the entire thing. I like to flip it over
and also make sure I get the bottom. You're going to place this in the oven for just
a few minutes and then pull it back out to add just a little bit more sauce on before
it's done. For your last few minutes of cooking ,we want to give it a nice
toast so we're going to turn on the broiler and let it go for just a tad bit more time.
