Asian
Tofu Recipe
This
tasty Asian tofu was the first meatless recipe my fiance made for me. It's a
wonderful light protein and is so easy to pair with broiled or grilled veggies
such as eggplant, asparagus or even tomatoes.
Ingredients
:
1/4
cup olive oil
3
tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2
green onions, chopped
2
garlic cloves, minced
1/4
teaspoon ground cumin
1/4
teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1
package (14 ounces) extra-firm tofu
Whisk
together first 6 ingredients. Cut tofu lengthwise into 3/8-in. thick slices;
cut each slice in half diagonally to make triangles. Place tofu and marinade in
a large shallow bowl; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 3-5 hours, turning
occasionally
Preheat
broiler. Reserving marinade, place tofu in a 15x10x1-in. pan. Drizzle remaining
marinade over tops. Broil 5-6 in. from heat until lightly browned and heated
through, about 10 minutes.
