Make this miso tofu to add more plant-based protein to your diet. This low carb recipe is perfect for vegan keto diets, or anyone looking for a nutritious tofu recipe! 

Miso Tofu

oz extra firm tofu

onion (, peeled and chopped)

garlic (,

olive oil, divided

white miso paste

tamari

rice vinegar ((sub apple cider

Remove the tofu from the package and press to remove excess fluid. See note on pressing tofu.

While the tofu is pressing, place the chopped onion, garlic and one tablespoon olive oil together in a medium-size container.

In a small bowl, whisk together the miso, tamari, and vinegar. Add this to the chopped onion mixture and stir until well-combined.

Chop the tofu into 1/2&quot; cubes and place in the pan with the miso marinade. Stir everything together gently so that the marinade permeates the tofu. Let the tofu marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to an hour. 

Pour remaining oil in skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Let the oil heat up for about a minute. Use tongs to carefully place tofu pieces in the skillet and slightly brown each side of the tofu cubes. Continue cooking and tossing the tofu until the tofu is slightly browned. Then turn heat to low and add the remaining marinade. Cook for a minute or two until the onions are tender.

Store cooked tofu in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Tofu changes its consistency when frozen so it&#039;s not recommended to freeze this recipe. 

To serve, place tofu pieces over rice, cauliflower rice, in vegetable wraps, salads, etc. To reheat, cook in a skillet, air fryer until, or microwave until heated through. 

This Miso Tofu Bowl  can be made with tofu (or salmon or chicken) and veggies on a sheet pan, with a flavorful Miso Marinade. Vegan adaptable!  (Updated 3/2022)

Miso Tofu Bowl 

carrots-

asparagus (about 7 oz.) or sub green beans

tofu – extra firm (or add salmon

salt and pepper and optional chili flakes

avocado, sliced

beet cabbage sauerkraut (optional,

microgreens or sprouts

Garnish options- thin radish slices, toasted sesame seeds, or furikake, roasted cashew, ¼ cup cilantro, scallions or chives

Serve over Seasoned Rice, Black rice

sesame oil

miso

ginger

garlic

tablespoons rice vinegar

maple syrup

orange zest

orange juice

Preheat oven to 425F. If serving over a grain or noodle, cook according to the package directions.

Make the marinade, blending all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

Slice carrots into 1 inch strips by slicing the carrot in half lengthwise and then each halve into 2 -4 strips (depends on the size of your carrots) cut the strips into approximate 1 inch sections (or a size that will easily fit into your mouth!)  Slice asparagus in 1-2 inch sections.  Blot tofu with paper towels and slice into ¾- 1 inch slices, blot again.

Line a sheet pan with parchment.  Toss carrots with 1-2 tablespoons of glaze in a bowl, give a quick toss, spread out in single layer on the sheemt pan. Repeat this process with the tofu and asparagus.  Spoon a little more glaze on top of the tofu (or salmon chicken) and season with salt and pepper and add chili flakes, if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven checking after 15 minutes.  If the asparagus is thin, it may be ready to take out now.  (Use thick asparagus if you don&#8217;t want to bother with removing halfway through).  Tofu and carrots will take about 25 minutes.  Remove from oven.

Build the bowl- on top of rice, grains or noodles, arrange tofu, carrots, asparagus, avocado, micro-greens, beet kraut (or kimchi or cucumber kimchi pickles!)

Thanks Terry, I'm glad you are enjoying the weekly emails! I'm excited to hear how it goes with the lemongrass- I think we have a similar climate here, so curious to see if you can grow it! Spring here has been slow. It's still cold, but despite this, blossoms have begun their opening. It really is a site to behold. Have a beautiful weekend!

This glaze was quite tasty and delicious on chicken. I found the vinegar to be a bit overwhelming so in the future I will cut it back to 1.5TB. I think adding a bit of cornstarch would make it into a nice dipping/drizzling sauce as well.

Delicious!! Always looking for new ways to make tofu that isn't stir fry and this was great! Served with some soba noodles for my partner and zuchinni noodles for me.

delicious, fast and easy.  I made this with salmon, tofu and fingerling yams.  It pleased the whole family.

This is the first time I have ever posted a review. I felt compelled. 

This recipe is wonderful, quick and flexible. I use other vegetables, too (whatever I have on hand.) The presentation is always lovely.  

Thank you, Sylvia.

Great recipe, full of flavor. You make cooking fun. When it is my turn to cook, I immediately go to you, weather it be the weekly suggestions or your web site.
Thanks so much for sharing.

It was wonderful - thank you so much, Sylvia.
I have a beginner question on tofu: what is your opinion on using some kind of a press device to remove some of the water? I used the extra firm (non-pressed), and it was great, but my friend always does it. Thank you!

That's what I thought (and did) - to leave some moisture in. Thank you! 👍🏻 🌸

Yet another winner from FAH!  We really enjoyed the combination of flavors.  I found beet cabbage kraut in the store. The furikake was a nice addition.  Because I love sauces, I added a bit of the leftover marinade to the finished dish, which included the seasoned rice.

This dressing is unbelievable. 
I needed to do an appetizer for a Japanese meal, so I used your dressing as a dip! My veggies were daikon radish slices (sprinkled with sumac), cucumber slices (sprinkled with rice wine vinegar and onion), and par-boiled carrot slices (sprinkled with sesame seed).
The dip was devoured, and everyone wanted to get the recipe! Yes, they all have your website now! it is the best!
Thanks!

Oh, this is as yummy as it is beautiful! I made double the dressing, and have used it as a dip for raw veggies, and as a salad dressing. Delicious!
