Korean Style BBQ Tofu image

A sweet, savoury and spicy marinade infuses slices of otherwise plain tofu before they're crusted in sesame seeds and grilled to crispy perfection. More tofu recipes and ideas are in my cookbooks: http://yummysmells.blogspot.ca/p/buy-sarahs-cookbooks.html

Time P1DT15m

Yield 1 lb tofu, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup soy sauce
1 small pear, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3 garlic cloves
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 lb extra firm tofu, drained, pressed and cut into 1/2-inch slabs
1/4 cup sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients (except tofu and sesame seeds) in a blender and puree. Pour into a shallow dish.
  • Place tofu in the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for 24 hours - 5 days.
  • Remove tofu from the marinade (you can use it to make a sauce if you want, since there's no raw meat involved) and roll in the sesame seeds.
  • Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium high heat (I don't recommend an actual barbecue for this unless the grate is really narrow). Grease well.
  • Place tofu in one layer on the pan and cook 6 minutes, then carefully turn over and cook another 5-6 minutes.
  • Serve as part of a rice or noodle bowl, or with a stir fry. This also tastes great as part of a sandwich or wrap.
