Miso Glazed Tofu And Noodle Salad Recipe By Tasty Recipes

BAKED MISO GLAZED TOFU WITH STIR FRIED VEGGIES & NOODLES

Steps:

• Pre heat the oven to 180C/392F degrees.
• Start by preparing the tofu. Lay a double layer of kitchen paper on a baking tray, spread the cubed tofu evenly on the baking tray, cover with another double layer of kitchen paper then place a slightly smaller baking tray on top. Place two 400g cans of beans or a heavy saucepan on top of the top tray and leave to drain for 30 minutes.
• Make the marinade, add the oils, miso paste, honey, garlic, ginger and lemon juice to a large mixing bowl, big enough to contain the tofu, I used a pie dish. Whisk all the ingredients together.
• Remove the tofu from the trays then add to the miso mixture to marinate for 15 minutes, turning the tofu half way through. Prep your veg while the tofu is marinating.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the tofu on the baking tray, keep the leftover marinade, bake in the oven for 20 minutes, turning the cubes over half way through cooking, I also turn the tray around to ensure even cooking. The tofu is done when the edges are crispy and the cubes are a rich golden colour.
• While the tofu is baking, cook the noodles according to the packet.
• Heat 1/2 tbs of oil in a large wok, add the spring onions, and cook for a minute, then add the mushrooms, cook for 3 minutes. Now add the chilli, cook for one minute then add the kale and sprouting broccoli and 2 tbs of the remaining marinade. Cook for 3 minutes.
• Serve the tofu on a bed of noodles and stir fry veggies, topped with some toasted sesame seeds and a drizzle of the remaining marinade.

MISO-GLAZED TOFU AND NOODLE SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Start by glazing your tofu. In a mixing bowl combine the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Then toss in the cubed tofu and coat to cover each piece. Allow to sit in the glaze for at least 30 minutes.
• Next, assemble the glazed tofu cubes evenly onto skewers. Preheat your greased grill to medium high, then place the tofu skewers on. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning as needed, then set aside.
• To assemble the salad, place the rice noodles in a large mixing bowl. Top with the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Toss the noodles to coat.
• Next, top with the sesame seeds, red pepper, cucumbers, green onions, and carrot. Toss again to coat evenly.
• Transfer to a serving platter, then shingle the sliced avocado on top. To finish, place the skewers of miso-glazed tofu on top of the noodle salad and serve with extra limes for squeezing.
• Enjoy!

BAKED MISO-GLAZED TOFU WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• To make the miso glaze, combine mirin and sake or stock in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in miso and sugar. Whisk over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
• If mushrooms have thick long stems, cut stems in half and then into 1/2-inch pieces. Separate all of the clumps of mushrooms into individual mushrooms. You can use the bottom of the clump. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Heat a wok or wide heavy skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates in a second. Add 1 tablespoon olive or grapeseed oil and mushrooms and sear without moving for 30 seconds, then stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until they begin to sweat. Turn heat to medium and add garlic. Stir-fry 30 seconds, then add salt to taste and stir-fry until mushrooms are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and stir-fry until it is no longer visible in the pan. Add 3 tablespoons of miso glaze, stir together and remove from heat.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Transfer remaining glaze to a wide bowl and whisk in remaining sesame oil, cayenne, remaining grapeseed or peanut oil and soy sauce. Cut tofu into 8 to 10 slices and pat dry with paper towels. Dip each slice into miso glaze, making sure to coat both sides. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, until edges are just beginning to color.
• Gently reheat mushrooms. Place a couple of slices of tofu on each plate, top with the mushrooms and serve.

MISO-GLAZED TOFU STEAKS WITH BEANSPROUT SALAD & EGG STRANDS

Steps:

• Prepare the beansprout salad. Put the beansprouts in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 2 mins, then drain well and leave to cool, tossing with your hand from time to time to speed up the cooling. Combine with the pepper, radishes and spring onion.
• To make the dressing, whisk together all the ingredients except the oil until the sugar dissolves. Trickle in the oil slowly while whisking to emulsify. Stir the dressing through the beansprout mixture and chill until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.
• Drain the tofu, wrap the whole block in kitchen paper, and press gently to absorb excess moisture. Unwrap and cut in half across the middle, then in half again diagonally, to create four triangles. If using 2 packs, you will end up with 8 smaller triangles.
• To prepare the tofu glaze, place the miso paste in a cup and add 2 tbsp of boiling water. Whisk with a fork until completely smooth. Pour into a pan that the tofu will fit into in a single layer. Add the mirin and soy sauce, stir and bring to the boil. Add the tofu to the sauce and simmer for 15 mins, turning the tofu carefully halfway through.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Carefully lift the tofu from the sauce and place on the tray. Cook in the oven for 15 mins, then turn off the oven and leave the tofu in to keep warm. Meanwhile, to thicken the glaze, raise the heat to a medium boil, stir occasionally,until syrupy. Set aside.
• To make the egg strands, beat together the eggs and mirin with 2 tbsp cold water and a large pinch of salt until well mixed, but not frothy. Heat a medium non-stick pan over a low-medium heat and add the oil, spreading it over the surface with a spatula. Pour in a quarter of the egg mixture and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan, forming a very thin omelette. Cook for about 4-5 mins until the top is dry and the bottom is set but not too brown. Carefully remove from the pan (no need to flip) and place on a plate. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, adding a touch more oil if the pan seems dry. Stack the omelettes on top of each other and cool. Don't worry if they rip or buckle, but do stack them up as flat as possible. Once cool enough to handle, roll them up carefully into a tight sausage and slice thinly with a sharp knife.
• Remove the tofu from the oven and spoon a bit of glaze over the top of each piece, spreading with the back of a spoon. (If the glaze has cooled completely and is too thick, reheat slightly until spoonable). Reserve any remaining glaze to finish.
• To assemble, arrange the beansprout salad on a plate. Place the tofu steaks on top of the salad and scatter with the egg strands, peanuts and pea shoots. Finish with a drizzle of the glaze.

TOFU AND SPINACH SALAD SPICY MISO DRESSING

Steps:

• In a blender cup, add vinegar, soy sauce, miso, sambal oelek, sugar and gari. Blend until smooth. Slowly drizzle in both oils. Check for seasoning. Pour dressing into a bowl and fold in scallions. Toss the spinach with the dressing.
• Plating: Place a ring mold in the center of a plate. Make a napoleon by alternating layers of tofu and spinach. Remove ring and drizzle with more dressing. Garnish with gari and sesame seeds.

MISO ROASTED TOFU WITH SWEET POTATO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Wrap the tofu in kitchen paper, place in a shallow dish and put a heavy plate on top to help squeeze out the water. When the paper is wet, replace with another wrapping and weigh down again. Chop the tofu into medium cubes (about 2.5cm). In a small bowl, mix the dressing together with a whisk.
• Boil the beans for 1 min, then drain, rinse in cold water and set aside. Line a baking tray with parchment, spread out the tofu and pour over half the dressing. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and mix well. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and crisp. Meanwhile, cut the sweet potatoes in half, place in a bowl, cover with cling film and microwave for 10-15 mins until very soft.
• Mash the sweet potato and serve in bowls with the tofu, green beans, the dressing poured over and some spring onions sprinkled on top.

MISO MUSHROOM & TOFU NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms and fry for 5-6 mins, or until golden. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the tofu for 3-4 mins, or until evenly golden.
• Mix the miso paste with 325ml boiling water in a jug. Cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain and transfer to a bowl. Top with the mushrooms and tofu, then pour over the miso broth. Scatter over the spring onions just before serving.
