ingredients
- 2 lbs extra firm tofu
-
For the miso glaze
- 1⁄2 cup white miso
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 16 bamboo skewers
directions
- Rinse the tofu and press for 1 hour. (To press the tofu, place it on a gently sloping cutting board in the sink. Place a heavy plate on top of it and let stand for 1 hour. The weight of the plate will press out the excess liquid and firm up the tofu.).
- Prepare the miso glaze. Combine the miso, mirin, sake, sugar, and mayonnaise in the top of a double boiler and whisk until smooth. Cook the sauce over the double boiler until thick and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Cut each block of tofu through the short side to obtain 2 broad thin rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half widthwise. Stick two skewers through the narrow end of each piece of tofu. Preheat the grill to high.
- Grill the tofu on each side until lightly browned, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side, brushing with miso glaze. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
