Ingredients
- 1 block of extra firm tofu
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon miso paste
- ¼ cup BBQ sauce
- 2 green onions sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
Instructions
- Press Tofu: Use a tofu press to remove excess water from the tofu block. Let it press for at least 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare the Tofu: Cut the tofu block into accordion-style slices. Make evenly spaced cuts along the top and bottom, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Marinate: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and miso paste until well combined. Marinate the tofu slices in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Tofu: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the marinated tofu on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with sesame oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Add BBQ Glaze: Remove the tofu from the oven and brush with BBQ sauce. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the glaze is caramelized.
- Serve: Serve the glazed tofu over a bed of cooked brown rice. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili garlic sauce.
