Korean Style Bbq Tofu

Total Time: 24 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 24 hrs Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1 small pear, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 1 lb extra firm tofu, drained, pressed and cut into 1/2-inch slabs
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds

Recipe

• 1 combine all the ingredients (except tofu and sesame seeds) in a blender and puree. pour into a shallow dish.
• 2 place tofu in the marinade, turning to coat. cover and place in the fridge for 24 hours – 5 days.
• 3 remove tofu from the marinade (you can use it to make a sauce if you want, since there’s no raw meat involved) and roll in the sesame seeds.
• 4 preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium high heat (i don’t recommend an actual barbecue for this unless the grate is really narrow). grease well.
• 5 place tofu in one layer on the pan and cook 6 minutes, then carefully turn over and cook another 5-6 minutes.
• 6 serve as part of a rice or noodle bowl, or with a stir fry. this also tastes great as part of a sandwich or wrap.
