Roasted Marinated Tofu (x0.125 scale)
Recipe by user david
Crispy roasted tofu cubes marinated in a savory-sweet miso, tamari, and citrus-chile mixture.
Serves 0.5
These roasted marinated tofu cubes are deeply flavorful thanks to an overnight soak in a punchy miso-tamari marinade balanced with lime and lemon, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, and two types of chile heat. Roasting at high heat yields golden, crispy edges without needing breading, making it great for meal prep, grain bowls, salads, wraps, or as a protein-packed side. For best flavor, marinate overnight (or up to 24 hours), spread the cubes out on an unlined sheet tray so they roast instead of steaming, and be sure to turn them during roasting for even browning.
- 1 1⁄8 tsp 1 1⁄8 tsp avocado oil
- 3⁄4 tsp 3⁄4 tsp white miso
- 3⁄4 tsp 3⁄4 tsp tamari
- 3⁄4 tsp 3⁄4 tsp rice wine vinegar
- 3⁄4 tsp 3⁄4 tsp (4 g) lime juice
- 3⁄4 tsp 3⁄4 tsp (5 g) maple syrup
- 1⁄4 tsp 1⁄4 tsp (2 g) lemon juice
- 1⁄4 tsp 1⁄4 tsp garlic, minced
- 1⁄4 tsp 1⁄4 tsp ginger paste, minced
- 1⁄4 tsp 1⁄4 tsp Sriracha sauce
- 1⁄4 tsp 1⁄4 tsp sambal oelek
In a bowl, combine the oil, miso, tamari, vinegar, lime juice, maple syrup, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, Sriracha, and sambal oelek. Whisk until well blended.
- 0.12 0.12 block firm tofu (14-ounce/400 g), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Place the tofu cubes in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade into the bag. Seal well, removing any air from the bag and making sure all the cubes are coated. Refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Lay the cubes on a large sheet tray (not lined with parchment paper), spreading them out, and roast for 5 minutes. Discard any leftover marinade. Remove the tray from the oven, turn over the cubes of tofu, and roast for another 5 minutes. Turn the cubes one more time, and roast for a final 3 minutes or until all the tofu is golden brown and crispy. Set the tray aside. When the tofu has cooled completely, refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
Notes
The cubed tofu will keep for up to 5 days.
The tofu should be marinated overnight or longer. Plan accordingly.
