    The caramelised miso and maple marinade takes these tofu skewers to a new level of deliciousness. It provides a good source of protein which can support muscle health. This versatile recipe will quickly become a go-to dish.

    Ingredients

    • 400g firm tofu
    • 1 tbsp miso paste
    • 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
    • 1 tbsp reduced salt soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 cups cooked whole grains (such as brown rice or quinoa)
    • 3 cups greens (such as kale or spinach)
    • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

    Optional garnish:

    • Sesame seeds, sliced green onions

    Method

    1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
    2. Drain the tofu and pat it dry with paper towels. Slice the tofu into 1.25cm thick slices.
    3. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger and half the minced garlic until well combined.
    4. Brush both sides of the tofu slices with the miso mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
    5. Place the tofu slices on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until nicely grilled and caramelised. Remove from the grill and set aside.
    6. While the tofu is grilling, heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and fry for 1 minute then add the greens and sauté for 3-4 minutes until wilted and tender. Remove from heat.
    7. To serve, divide the cooked whole grains among four plates. Top each plate with a portion of grilled miso tofu and sautéed greens. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired

    Tips

    • Batch cooking: You can double the recipe and freeze the extra grilled miso tofu slices for future use. Thaw before reheating.
    • Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce to make the recipe gluten-free.
    • If you don’t have a grill or grill pan, you can bake the tofu in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
