Shishd Tofu Grilled Marinated Tofu Vegan Recipes

PERFECT GRILLED TOFU

Steps:

• Wrap tofu in a clean dish towel and weight it with something heavy such as a large can; leave it to drain for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together remaining ingredients in a bowl.
• Cut each piece of tofu crosswise into 6 thick slices and put it all in a baking dish. Pour marinade over tofu, turning to coat, and chill, covered, turning occasionally, at least 30 minutes or up to 48 hours. Longer is better, but shorter is totally fine.
• Preheat a gas grill on high heat (450 degrees F to 650 degrees F) 10 minutes, then reduce heat to medium (325 degrees F to 375 degrees F)--or do whatever the equivalent is if you're using charcoal. Oil grate.
• Transfer tofu from marinade (letting excess drip off and reserving marinade) to grill with a spatula. Cover grill and cook tofu, turning once, until well browned but before grill marks get black, 10 to 15 minutes total. Transfer tofu to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Bring reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan and boil until it reduces to about 1 cup, about 2 minutes. Pour over tofu and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

GRILLED OR PAN-FRIED MARINATED TOFU

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.

VEGAN MARINADE (MARINATED TOFU)

Steps:

• Stand the tofu up on end and cut down the middle, making two 1.5" slabs. Do this with both bricks of tofu and drain for at least 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. The longer you press the moisture out, the better the tofu will absorb the marinade.
• When the tofu has most of the water drained out, lay down in a 8x13 baking dish.
• Mix the ingredients for the marinade in a 2 cup (or more) measuring cup. Stir together well and pour over the tofu. Cover and set in the fridge for at least 1 hour, but for best results, marinade overnight, flipping at least once.
• Remove the tofu and press out the marinade with your hands as best you can.
• Here is where you can choose what to do with the tofu. It can be eaten cold, as is, on a sandwich. Baked on a greased cooking sheet at 400F until browned, then eaten as a "cutlet", chopped and tossed into a salad, or eaten as a hot sandwich. Same with frying it in a pan. Frying can give you a nice crust without drying out or firming up as much as when you bake it. Play with the options, food should be fun.
