GRILLED OR PAN-FRIED MARINATED TOFU



Grilled or Pan-Fried Marinated Tofu image

This is one of my favorite ways to eat tofu. Keep some marinating in the refrigerator, then grill or pan-fry at will.

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced or grated fresh ginger
1 pound firm tofu
1 tablespoon canola oil or peanut oil
Additional soy sauce or marinade for topping

Steps:

  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a 2-quart bowl. Whisk together well.
  • Drain the tofu and pat dry with paper towels. Slice into 1/2-inch thick slabs, and blot each slab with paper towels. Add to the bowl with the marinade, and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to an hour, or for up to a day.
  • To pan-fry the tofu, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. When the oil is hot, add the tofu in one layer (you may have to do this in batches). Cook on one side for one to two minutes, until lightly colored. Using tongs, turn the tofu over and cook for another one to two minutes, or until lightly colored on the other side. Remove from the pan, and serve with additional marinade or soy sauce. To grill the tofu, prepare a medium-hot grill. Brush the grill with oil, and grill until grill marks appear, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat, and serve with additional marinade or soy sauce.

PAN-GRILLED MARINATED TOFU WITH TWO VARIATIONS



Pan-Grilled Marinated Tofu With Two Variations image

An easy, mild flavor marinated, mainly to use in recipes such as stir frys, pasta, noodles, rice, soups and practically anything else, when you want to add a little flavor and texture to otherwise plain tofu. I also find this flavorful enough to eat plain with a little rice and steamed veggies. Time does not include the 30 minute marinade time.
