Preparing tofu: Drain as much liquid as possible before removing tofu from the package. Cut tofu block into slabs, or ‘strips’. Press each slab/strip with paper towels until very little moisture comes out.

Marinating Tofu: Combine maple syrup, tamari sauce, and butter into a small bowl and microwave until melted (10-15 seconds only). Alternatively, heat in a saucepan on the stovetop. Place tofu, melted maple syrup mixture, and ginger into a small bowl or container. Cover and toss well to coat the tofu. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours prior to cooking. The will enable the tofu to absorb the marinade.
