Asian-Style Grilled Tofu with Greens Recipe

  • Dressing
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup prepared carrot juice
  • 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso (see Note)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Tofu and Greens
  • 2 (14 ounce) packages water-packed firm tofu, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon black bean-garlic sauce (see Note)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 10 ounces mixed Asian greens or baby spinach
  1. To prepare dressing: Puree carrot, carrot juice, miso, vinegar, oil, ginger and garlic in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  2. To prepare tofu: Slice each tofu block crosswise into 5 slices; pat dry with paper towels. Combine honey, oil, soy sauce, black bean-garlic sauce and garlic in a small bowl. Spread half the marinade in a large baking dish and top with the tofu slices. Spread the remaining marinade over the tofu, covering completely.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the tofu until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. To serve, toss greens with the dressing. Divide among 6 plates and top with the tofu.
