Source of Recipe
Melinda Carrington
List of Ingredients
* 5 pounds medium-firm tofu
* 1/2 cup Sesame oil
* 1/4 cup Tamari (or soy sauce) Recipe
1. Mash tofu well. Line an medium-sized colander with a single layer of moistened cheesecloth.
2. Transfer tofu to colander. Press tofu to flatten, and fold edges of cheesecloth over it.
3. Place a cake tin or other flat object over the surface of the tofu and weigh it down with a heavy object (about 5 lbs) to press the liquid from the tofu.
4. After the tofu has drained for 1 hour, hollow out to within 1 inch of the colander. Fill the cavity with your favorite stuffing. Pack in stuffing and cover with the remaining tofu. Pat down so surface is flat and firm.
5. Oil a roast or turkey pan; place pan over colander and flip over so that flat surface of filled tofu faces down. Remove cheesecloth.
6. Mix sesame oil and tamari to use as a basting liquid. Baste tofu with liquid.
7. Bake covered at 400F for 1 hour. Remove cover, baste, and return to oven to bake uncovered until top becomes golden brown (about one hour longer). Baste again at least once during remaining cooking time.
8. Remove from oven when cooked and remove to a serving platter decorated with orange slices and homemade cranberry sauce.
