BBQ, Vegetarian, Salted, Tofu

Grilled tofu marinated in an Asian flavored sauce

Note

Ideally, slices of tofu should be 1 cm thick, which will help when cooking on the BBQ, as they will be more solid.

Be careful with the soybeans used, some are saltier than others

Ingredients

Recipe for 12 tapas

Tofu

900 Gr

Tofu firm

Marinade (Teriyaki sauce)

500 Ml

Water

150 Gr

Brown sugar

130 Ml

Light soy sauce

60 Ml

Maple syrup

1 Tsp

Fresh ginger

4 Tsp

Cornstarch

2 Clove(s)

Chopped garlic

finition

4 Unit(s)

Green onion

Preparation time: 20 min

Preheat your BBQ at 500 °F

Mise en place

Finely chop the garlic and ginger.

Slant chop the green onion (whistle).

Cut the tofu into strips (count about 6 slices in lb).
Marinade + Sauce

Marinade

Make the marinade in a saucepan by mixing brown sugar with water (500 ml), soy sauce, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and add chopped ginger and garlic.

Add your tofu slices to the marinade and leave them for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

Marinade (Teriyaki sauce)

Remove the tofu slices, taking care to keep the marinade, which we will turn into Teriyaki sauce.

Pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch with 100 ml of water in a bowl, then gently pour this mixture into your marinade, stirring with a whisk (ideally).

Your sauce will become thick and coating; you will be able to see this by dipping a tablespoon into it.

Make sure to season well with pepper, but be careful, as the soy sauce already contains salt.
Cooked Tofu

Place the marinated tofu slices on the hot grill.

Make sure to mark them well, 1 minute on each side should be enough depending on the thickness of your cut.
Assembly and finishing

Place a nice slice of grilled tofu in the dish of your choice.

Generously coat the slice with Teriyaki sauce using a brush or a spoon.

To finish, place the green onion whistles on top here and there.
