Ingredients
- 1 1/2 blocks firm tofu (from two 14-ounce packages)
- 2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Soy-Lemon Dipping Sauce
Directions
-
Cut tofu crosswise into 6 slices (about 3/4 inch thick each). Cut each slice diagonally into 2 triangles. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels. Place tofu on top, and cover with another double layer of paper towels. Place another baking sheet or a large plate on top. Weigh down with heavy objects (such as large cans of food); let stand 20 minutes.

Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heat. Stir together tamari soy sauce, oil, and pepper in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Pat tofu dry with paper towels; transfer to baking dish. Turn to coat both sides with marinade. Broil, flipping once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with dipping sauce.
We don't eat much tofu, so this was new for me, but I thought it was pretty decent, and I would make it again. It was super easy.
My friend say's she never heard of Broiled Tofu LOL
An ideal variation on a traditional vegetarian favorite. I omitted the dipping sauce - the tofu is flavorful enough without it! Just be sure to weigh down the tofu for at least 20 minutes as it really does make a difference in the tofu being able to absorb the delicious flavors of the sauce.
