Grilled tofu salad with miso dressing

Indulge in the flavors of a grilled tofu salad drizzled with savory miso dressing, a delightful combination of charred goodness and umami richness.

Ingredients:

• 400g extra firm tofu
• 2 teaspoons cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons Miso & Easy (3 teaspoons miso paste + 3 teaspoons hot water), divided
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon oil for salad (olive, canola, vegetable, grapeseed)
• 4 handfuls of salad greens + any other salad vegetables of your choice

Instructions:

1. Slice the tofu block into slices that are 1/2" thick. Use a towel to dry each slice of tofu on both sides.
2. In a small bowl, put half of the miso (save the other half for the dressing). Apply the miso to one side of the tofu using a brush.
3. In a frying pan over medium-high heat, pour the cooking oil and place the tofu with the miso side facing down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it becomes browned. Brush more miso on the top of the tofu. Gently flip the tofu and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Mix together the remaining miso, soy sauce, ginger, water, sesame oil, and sugar. Slowly add the oil while whisking until the dressing is smooth.
5. Arrange the salad greens and vegetables on a plate, and serve with the grilled slices of tofu and miso dressing.
