Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 lb Medium firm tofu
1/2 c Sesame oil (no substitutes)
1/4 c Tamari

Mash tofu well. (For optimal results, blend a firm
Chinese style tofu with a smaller portin of Japanese
style, such as Mori-Nu Firm.) Line an 11" colander
with a single layer of moistened cheesecloth. Transfer
tofu to colander. Press tofu to flatten, and fold
edges of cheesecloth over it. 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.

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. Oil a roast or turkey pan, place pan over
colander, and flip over so that flat surface of filled
tofu faces down. Remove cheesecloth.

Mix sesame oil and soy sauce to use as a basting
liquid. Baste tofu with liquid. Bake covered at 400
deg. F for 1 hour. Remove cover, baste, and return to
oven to bake uncovered until top becomes golden brown,
about one hour more. Baste again at least once during
remaining cooking time.
