Vegeterian Tips: Most Chinese restaurants have many vegetarian options, and some use tofu or fake meat. Otherwise, try rice, soup, and spring rolls or other appetizers to form a great meal. Just remember to ask for no MSG to stay healthy.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1/2 cup mellow red miso
- 1/4 cup organic vegan sugar of choice
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon mirin vegan rice wine
- 5 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 cup rice bran oil or canola oil
- 3 large packages organic firm (Chinese style) tofu
Directions:
Preheat broiler or very high heat
oven. Drain and rinse tofu, press to
remove excess moisture. While tofu is
pressing, prepare the miso glaze:
In a food processor or blender mix all
ingredients except the oil until
smooth. Then while blender is running
slowly pour in the oil until a
luscious glaze forms.
Slice tofu into 1/2 inch thick
cutlets. Gently dip each piece of
tofu into the miso glaze to thoroughly
coat (this is the fun part) and arrange
onto a large flat baking sheet. (You
may wish to use one with raised edges
to avoid the glaze dripping off the
pan. You may also use foil to protect
your baking sheet — the caramelized
glaze is exceedingly hard to remove
from your cookware even after soaking
overnight.)
Broil for 3-5 minutes until golden and
caramelized (careful not to burn), then
remove from oven and turn the pieces
over. With a pastry brush or spoon
baste the tofu once more with the
remaining miso glaze. Broil 3-5
minutes more until the tofu is golden
and the edges are crisp.
A variation is to add fresh ginger to
your glaze. It is possible to reduce
the oil in the recipe according to
your nutritional needs. This recipe
works very well for feeding large
amounts of people at parties and
potlucks.
