Preheat oven to 200 degrees C or 400 F.
Lay tofu on a kitchen towel to remove moisture.
In a saucepan heat a good dash of oil and fry garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add soy, ketchup, paprika, apple cider vinegar and maple and stir to combine. Add 1 tbs of water.
Cut tofu in to cubes and gently dip them in to the baste carefully not to burn yourself.
Place basted cubes on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes until brown.
Remove from oven. Add another tbs of water to the baste and stir before spooning over the tofu.
Garnish with finely chopped chives and chia or sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice or a pickled salad.
