Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 14-ounce block extra-firm tofu, drained and sliced into eight 1/2-inch-thick steaks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup lime juice (from about 2 limes)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 scallions, whites finely chopped and green tops sliced thin
4 heads baby bok choy, halved lengthwise through the stems
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Put the tofu steaks on a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet and top with more paper towels, pressing gently to remove excess moisture. Remove the paper towels and towel and sprinkle the tofu with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Stir to combine the soy sauce, cilantro, lime juice, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and scallion whites in a medium bowl. Pour 1/3 cup of the marinade over the tofu steaks, flipping to coat both sides. Reserve the remaining marinade for serving.
  • Put the bok choy on another rimmed baking sheet and brush all sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare a grill for medium heat and brush the grates of the grill with oil.
  • Put the tofu steaks and bok choy, cut-sides down, on the grill at an angle across the grates. Close the lid of the grill and cook for 5 minutes, then rotate both the tofu and the bok choy 90 degrees and cook another 5 minutes with the lid closed. Flip the tofu steaks and bok choy and cook for another 10 minutes with the lid closed, rotating 90 degrees halfway through to create crosshatch grill marks.
  • Remove the tofu and bok choy to a platter. Spoon the reserved marinade over the tofu and bok choy and sprinkle the tofu steaks with the scallion greens and toasted sesame seeds.

TOFU WITH GINGER-CILANTRO SAUCE



Tofu with Ginger-Cilantro Sauce image

A quick vegan main that will satisfy meat eaters too. Brushed with a zesty cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, and lime sauce this tofu just needs a short stint on the grill. This recipe comes from Martha Stewart's Grilling: 125+ Recipes for Gatherings Large and Small.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegan Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for grill
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 scallions, green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
14 ounces extra-firm tofu, sliced into 12 pieces, drained, and pressed

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium. In a food processor, combine cilantro, 1/4 cup oil, jalapeno, ginger, lime juice, and scallions. Blend until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
  • Brush tofu with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Lightly brush grates with oil. Grill tofu, turning halfway through, until charred in spots, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from grill and brush with ginger-cilantro sauce. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • To make the tofu extra crispy, press it firmly between two plates lined with paper towels for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the tofu in so that it has plenty of room to spread out and get crispy.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet or wok when cooking the tofu. If you do, the tofu will steam instead of fry and it won’t get crispy.
  • Cook the tofu over medium-high heat so that it cooks through quickly and evenly.
  • Don’t stir the tofu too much while it’s cooking. Let it sit undisturbed for a few minutes at a time so that it can get crispy.
  • Once the tofu is cooked through, remove it from the skillet or wok and let it drain on paper towels for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve the tofu immediately with the lime-ginger sauce.
  • Conclusion:

    This tofu in lime-ginger sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that’s perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the lime-ginger sauce is flavorful and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
