To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

To prepare the brine, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the brine over the tofu, making sure that all of the pieces are covered. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
When you are ready to cook the tofu, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Remove the tofu from the brine and place the cubes on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tofu is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
