Seared Tofu With Miso Sauce Recipes

TOFU WITH MISO PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients. Thin out as desired with water. Brush or spoon onto sliced tofu (cooked or uncooked).

KIYOKO'S MISO SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine mirin, miso paste, egg yolk, and sake in a saucepan and mix well; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until sauce is the consistency of jam, 10 to 15 minutes.

SEARED TOFU WITH MISO SAUCE

Steps:

• Drain the tofu then slice it crosswise into 6 pieces. Heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet. Add the tofu, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat until golden. At first it will twitch around as the water in the tofu turns to steam, but then it will settle down. (Note: Tofu has fat in it so it will brown without adding more oil.) Once the first side is browned, turn and cook the second side, around 10 minutes in all. Shake over a tablespoon or two of your sauce of choice (soy, tamari, Worcestershire), season with salt and pepper to taste, and immediately turn off the heat. You can move to Step 2 while the tofu cooks.
• While the tofu is cooking, using a small saucepan, mix the miso with the sugar and lemon juice. Cook over low heat and cook while stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbly, about a minute. Let it cook, then stir in the lemon zest and vinegar. Taste to make sure the mixture has enough lemon (if using Meyer lemon, you might want to add a little more juice).
• Place the tofu on a plate. Spoon the sauce over the finished tofu and garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds.

SEARED MISO TOFU POKE BOWL

Steps:

• You'll want to get as much moisture out of the tofu as possible. Take the block of tofu and wrap it tightly in a kitchen towel or paper towels for at least 30 minutes. (Or, use a tofu press to do the job!) Then, cut the tofu into two-inch cubes.
• Place the tofu cubes in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and chili powder. Toss to coat.
• Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil to a heavy wok or skillet pre-heated on medium high. Sear the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides, flipping the cubes frequently, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the seared tofu from the wok and place on paper towels to drain. Keep warm.

MISO ROASTED TOFU WITH SWEET POTATO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Wrap the tofu in kitchen paper, place in a shallow dish and put a heavy plate on top to help squeeze out the water. When the paper is wet, replace with another wrapping and weigh down again. Chop the tofu into medium cubes (about 2.5cm). In a small bowl, mix the dressing together with a whisk.
• Boil the beans for 1 min, then drain, rinse in cold water and set aside. Line a baking tray with parchment, spread out the tofu and pour over half the dressing. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and mix well. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and crisp. Meanwhile, cut the sweet potatoes in half, place in a bowl, cover with cling film and microwave for 10-15 mins until very soft.
• Mash the sweet potato and serve in bowls with the tofu, green beans, the dressing poured over and some spring onions sprinkled on top.

MISO BUTTER-SEARED SEA BASS WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with a reusable baking mat or parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, stir together the butter, miso, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Set aside.
• Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with ½ tablespoon sunflower oil. Toss to coat.
• Roast the potatoes until tender, 10-12 minutes.
• While the potatoes roast, sear the sea bass. Pat each fillet dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is nearly smoking, add the sea bass, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is crispy, 3-4 minutes. Flip and sear the other side until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the fish from the pan.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, leaving the oven on. Move the potatoes to a quarter of the pan. Place the fish, skin-side down, on the other quarter and spread the bok choy on the empty half. Brush the miso butter over each fish fillet, then flip and brush more on the skin side. Drizzle the remaining ½ tablespoon sunflower oil over the bok choy and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the fish is completely opaque and just cooked through, 8-10 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
• Divide the fish, potatoes, and bok choy between 2 plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

BAKED TOFU WITH PEANUT SAUCE AND COCONUT-LIME RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees and lightly brush a large rimmed sheet pan with oil.
• In a small bowl, stir 4 tablespoons lime juice with 1/2 teaspoon salt until salt dissolves. Add the sliced peppers, a few cracks of black pepper and set aside.
• In a small pot, combine the rice with 1 cup water and the coconut milk. Season with salt and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over medium-low until the rice is just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, until ready to serve.
• In a medium bowl, whisk 4 tablespoons lime juice with the peanut butter, miso, ginger, fish sauce (if using), habanero, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon honey and 3/4 cup water. Stir until smooth and season to taste with salt.
• Arrange the tofu pieces in a single layer on the oiled baking sheet and season with salt. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the peanut sauce over each, covering the top and allowing the sauce to run down and coat the sides. Drizzle the tops with some oil, and roast until glaze is set, deep brown and caramelized along the edges, 18 to 20 minutes. Add the remaining lime juice and 1 tablespoon honey to the leftover peanut sauce in the bowl to make the dressing; set aside.
• Divide the greens among bowls. Add the lime zest and half the sliced scallions to the rice, then fluff with a fork. Top the greens with the rice, then the tofu. Spoon the peanut dressing over everything, and garnish with the drained pickled peppers and remaining sliced scallions.
