Korean Style Broiled Tofu Recipes

KOREAN-STYLE BROILED TOFU

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Cut the tofu into 1/2" slices.
• Lightly brushed a rimmed baking sheet(s) with vegetable oil, place the tofu in a single layer on the sheet(s) and lightly brush the top with oil.
• Broil, as close to the heat as possible until the tofu is lightly browned.
• Turn over and brown on the other side.
• Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, Splenda, garlic, sesame seeds and hot bean paste.
• Heat the soy mixture to a boil in a large pan over medium heat.
• Gently add the tofu in a single layer.
• Turn down to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, spooning the mixture over the top of the tofu.
• Sprinkle with the green onions and serve.

BROILED TOFU OR TEMPEH

Steps:

• Spray a pyrex pie plate with oil.
• Put 1/4 of the soy in it.
• Cut the tofu or tempeh into small bite size pieces and put in the pie plate.
• Add the chopped mushrooms, garlic& ginger.
• Sprinkle remaining 3 tbsp of soy on top.
• Sprinkle with the parsley.
• Broil 6" from heat source for approximately 10 minutes or until the soy is bubbling and the tofu/tempeh is browned.

KOREAN STYLE BBQ TOFU

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients (except tofu and sesame seeds) in a blender and puree. Pour into a shallow dish.
• Place tofu in the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for 24 hours - 5 days.
• Remove tofu from the marinade (you can use it to make a sauce if you want, since there's no raw meat involved) and roll in the sesame seeds.
• Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium high heat (I don't recommend an actual barbecue for this unless the grate is really narrow). Grease well.
• Place tofu in one layer on the pan and cook 6 minutes, then carefully turn over and cook another 5-6 minutes.
• Serve as part of a rice or noodle bowl, or with a stir fry. This also tastes great as part of a sandwich or wrap.
