Recipe for Freshly Glazed Soy Tofu with Carrots - instadessert



Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
Coarse salt
1 1/2 pounds carrots, (8 to 9 medium), cut into 2-inch lengths
2 packages (12 to 14 ounces each) extra-firm tofu, drained, each block cut into 16 equal pieces (32 total)
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 to 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 to 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Directions




Heat broiler. In a large bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add carrots; toss to coat.
Transfer carrots to sheet (or pan). Push carrots to one side.
Working with a few pieces at a time, add tofu to marinade in bowl; turn gently to coat, and transfer to sheet. Reserve bowl with marinade.
Broil until carrots are tender and tofu is browned, turning tofu halfway through cooking time and tossing carrots occasionally (more frequently toward end of cooking time), 30 to 35 minutes.
Transfer tofu and carrots to reserved bowl with marinade. Add scallions, vinegar, and sesame oil; toss gently to combine.
Enjoy!
