Soy-Glazed Tofu and Carrots

FLAVOR BOOSTER The carrots and tofu are both briefly marinated in a soy sauce mixture before being broiled. Scallions, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil lend other Asian elements. Be sure to use extra-firm tofu, as it will hold up better than other types of tofu.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 pounds carrots (8 to 9 medium), cut into 2-inch lengths (thick pieces halved lengthwise)
2 packages (12 to 14 ounces each) extra-firm tofu, drained, each block cut into 16 equal pieces
4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 to 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (unseasoned)
1 to 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. In a large bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, soy sauce, and salt. Add carrots; toss to coat.

    Step 2

    With a slotted spoon, transfer carrots (reserving bowl with marinade) to a rimmed baking sheet. Push carrots to one side.

    Step 3

    A few pieces at a time, add tofu to marinade in bowl; turn gently to coat, then transfer to sheet, arranging in a single layer. Reserve bowl with marinade.

    Step 4

    Broil until carrots and tofu are browned, turning tofu halfway through cooking time and tossing carrots occasionally (more frequently toward end of cooking time), 20 to 25 minutes.

    Step 5

    Transfer tofu and carrots to reserved bowl with marinade. Add scallions along with vinegar and sesame oil to taste; toss gently to combine, and serve.
