For Serving (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the peanut sauce first so the flavors have time to blend. Whisk together the peanut butter, sriracha, brown sugar, 2 Tbsp lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, and vegetable broth.
Press the tofu for 30 minutes to expel the excess water or use previously frozen tofu and squeeze the water out with your hands. Cut the tofu block into 24 triangles (12 squares, then cut diagonally into triangles).
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and cornstarch. Add the tofu pieces and gently toss until they are coated in the mixture.
Add 1 Tbsp cooking oil to a large non-stick skillet and heat over medium. Once hot, add the tofu and cook until browned on all sides (about 10 minutes total). Remove the tofu from the skillet.
Add 1 Tbsp cooking oil to the skillet then add the frozen stir fry vegetables. Cook over medium heat until heated through.
Add the cooked tofu back to the skillet with the vegetables, then pour the prepared peanut sauce over top. Stir to combine and heat through.
Slice any remaining lime into wedges. Top the peanut tofu with the lime wedges and fresh cilantro (if desired) before serving over cooked rice or noodles.

Grilled Miso Tofu Recipe

The Ultimate Guide to Grilled Chipotle Miso Tofu

In this recipe for grilled tofu, we combine two different flavor profiles from different culinary traditions: Chipotle and Miso. Chipotle is a type of chili commonly used in Mexican cuisine, while Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning made from fermented soybeans.

We’ll use Chipotle and Miso in two ways – first as a marinade to infuse the tofu with flavor before grilling, and then as a sauce to serve with the grilled tofu.

By following our techniques for grilling tofu, you’ll be able to achieve a perfectly grilled and flavorful dish. Even if you’re used to eating meat, this dish is so delicious that you won’t miss it.

INGREDIENTS

2 chipotle peppers in adobo (from a 7-ounce can), finely chopped, plus 2 tsp adobo sauce 1 tbsp miso, preferably red miso 2 tsp vegetable or canola oil 2 tsp light brown sugar 1 lb firm tofu, drained, rinsed, and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil 1 tsp soy sauce 1 scallion, white and light green parts, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine chipotle peppers and sauce, miso, vegetable oil, and brown sugar, and mix well. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the marinade in another bowl and set aside.
  2. Layer paper towels on a work surface. Arrange the tofu slices in a single layer on the paper towels and cover with another layer of paper towels. Gently press to dry.
  3. Place tofu in a large container, pour marinade over tofu, and turn gently to evenly coat the marinade. Let the tofu marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  4. Stir sesame oil and soy sauce into reserved marinade and set aside.
  5. When you’re ready to grill the tofu, prepare your grill. Light a charcoal grill. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour it out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set the cooking grate in place, cover the grill and let it heat up for 5 minutes.
  6. When your grill is hot, clean and oil the cooking grate.
  7. Place the tofu slices on the cooler side of the grill, away from the coals. Cover and grill for about 10 minutes. Gently flip tofu and grill until brown and crispy, about 10 minutes more. Transfer to a large plate.
  8. Using a spoon or brush, apply the reserved marinade mixture to each piece of tofu on both sides. Sprinkle scallions on top and serve immediately.

This grilled miso-tofu recipe is perfect for anyone looking for a healthy and flavorful dish. The combination of chipotle and miso adds a smoky, spicy, and savory flavor that is irresistible. Serve it as a main dish with a side of grilled vegetables or rice, or use it as protein in a salad or sandwich. It’s also a great option for vegetarian and vegan diets.

Try this recipe out and enjoy the taste of perfectly grilled and marinated tofu. Happy cooking!
