BAKED MISO-GLAZED TOFU WITH WILD MUSHROOMS



Baked Miso-Glazed Tofu With Wild Mushrooms image

Asian flavors suit mushrooms as well as the Mediterranean seasonings I usually work with. This Japanese-inspired miso glaze is used with both the tofu, as a glaze, and as a flavoring for the mushrooms. I used a mixed mushroom pack from Whole Foods for this, which included varieties of enokis and maitakes, with both thin and thick stems that had a nice meaty texture but weren't tough like shiitake stems. If salt is a concern, look for a lower-sodium miso, now available from a few companies.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake, vegetable or mushroom stock, or chicken stock
2 rounded tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil, divided
1 pound mixed wild mushrooms - recommend enoki type mushrooms and maitakes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or grape seed oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt to taste
1/4 cup dry white wine
Pinch of cayenne (more to taste)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 14-ounce block firm tofu

Steps:

  • To make the miso glaze, combine mirin and sake or stock in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in miso and sugar. Whisk over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
  • If mushrooms have thick long stems, cut stems in half and then into 1/2-inch pieces. Separate all of the clumps of mushrooms into individual mushrooms. You can use the bottom of the clump. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Heat a wok or wide heavy skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates in a second. Add 1 tablespoon olive or grapeseed oil and mushrooms and sear without moving for 30 seconds, then stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until they begin to sweat. Turn heat to medium and add garlic. Stir-fry 30 seconds, then add salt to taste and stir-fry until mushrooms are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and stir-fry until it is no longer visible in the pan. Add 3 tablespoons of miso glaze, stir together and remove from heat.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Transfer remaining glaze to a wide bowl and whisk in remaining sesame oil, cayenne, remaining grapeseed or peanut oil and soy sauce. Cut tofu into 8 to 10 slices and pat dry with paper towels. Dip each slice into miso glaze, making sure to coat both sides. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, until edges are just beginning to color.
  • Gently reheat mushrooms. Place a couple of slices of tofu on each plate, top with the mushrooms and serve.

8 scallions, minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chinese dark sesame oil
3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, red pepper, lemon juice, sesame oil, water, sugar or honey, and salt. Stir in the tofu. Cover and let stand for at least 15 minutes (longer is OK . You can prepare the other ingredients during this time.).

  • Serve immediately, topped with toasted sesame seeds and/or cashews.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Tofu     Soy Sauce     Maple Syrup     Ginger     Vegetarian     Vegan     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Healthy     Quick & Easy

Yield 2-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12-oz.) block firm tofu
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
3 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 (½") piece ginger, very thinly sliced
½ cup neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
Kimchi, toasted sesame seeds, hijiki, daikon, sliced scallions, and steamed rice (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Drain tofu, then sandwich between several layers of kitchen towels to remove excess liquid. Cut into 9 cubes.
  • Whisk soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ginger in a small bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. When oil is rippling across the surface, carefully add tofu so it doesn't splash. Cook, undisturbed, until very crisp and dark brown underneath, 3-4 minutes. Carefully turn and repeat on opposite side. Holding tofu back with a spatula or slotted spoon, pour out oil into a small bowl. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add soy sauce mixture. Cook, reducing heat to medium so it doesn't over-reduce or burn and basting tofu occasionally, until glaze is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 4 minutes.
  • Divide tofu among plates. Drizzle with glaze, then top with scallions. Serve with rice alongside.

6 tablespoons soy sauce
6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons honey or 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 1/2 tablespoons ginger, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced

1 lb firm tofu, rinsed, patted dry, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 quart baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a bowl whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, oil, honey, ginger, and garlic. Place the mushrooms in a bowl and add enough of the marinade to evenly coat them. Toss to combine.
