Add tofu, and continue cooking 4 minutes more, sprinkling with soy sauce halfway through. Gently stir in the peanut butter and ginger, being careful not to break the tofu, until well incorporated.

Most Thai recipes include the instructions "brung tam chop jai," or season to taste. " In older recipes, no quantities were given. Thais believe each cook tends to favor one of the four basic seasonings (hot. sweet, sour, or salty) and will season to his or her own preference.
1. Arrange tofu slices in a large shallow dish. Mix together marinade ingredients, pour over tofu, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 400g. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Drain tofu and gently place slices on sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
Bake about one hour, turning occasionally, until lightly browned.
3. While tofu is baking, prepare Cucumber Relish. In a medium pan, combine vinegar, sugar, water, cilantro stems, garlic, and salt. Bring to a boil; stir until sugar dissolves. Strain and cool.
4. In a medium bowl, mix together cucumber, ginger, chile paste, and chopped cilantro, if desired. Pour vinegar mixture over, and let stand, uncovered, while tofu bakes. Serve tofu with relish.

I am not Asian and I don't have a complete recipe to give you but if you marinate tofu with chopped up lemon grass (and liquid) it will acidulate the tofu making it very succulent. After it is cooked the lemon grass flavor will cook away.
