Miso grilled tofu


This is a variation of tofu dengaku. Before smearing the tofu with the miso mixture, I pan fry the tofu instead of grilling it under the broiler. My daughter ate it. Well, she will eat anything with miso.

Ingredients


1 block firm tofu
Vegetable oil for frying
Corn starch for coating
Miso mixture
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoon mirin
2 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoon cooking wine
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 cup miso (no MSG)

Toppings (optional)
Sesame seeds
Green onions
Nori flakes


1. Press out the excess liquid by weighing the tofu under a plate and a heavy object, eg a can of beans (30 minutes to an hour).

2. Cut tofu into 1/4 inch block, lightly coat with corn starch and pan fry both side for 3-4 minutes.

3. Smear s layer of miso mixture on top of the tofu and place under broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the miso mixture is bubbling and has a few brown spots.

4. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions and nori flakes.
