Tofu in a Miso-Lemon Coating
- Vegan - Gluten-Free - Lactose-Free
Prep time: 45 minutes • Difficulty: easy
Ingredients:
- 1 package of plain tofu
- 1 tbsp light or dark miso paste
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 organic lemon (juice and zest)
- A little olive oil for baking or grilling
- 1 package of plain tofu
- 1 tbsp light or dark miso paste
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 organic lemon (juice and zest)
- A little olive oil for baking or grilling
Preparation:
First, squeeze the tofu well. To do this, wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or 2 layers of paper towels.
Then place it on a plate and weigh it down, for example, with a wooden board on top of which you place a saucepan filled with water. Wait about 30 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the paste:
To do this, place the miso, tahini, and lemon juice (rinse the lemon with hot water first) in a small bowl and mix well. Grate the lemon zest and add it to the mixture.
Generously coat the now-squeezed tofu with this mixture and bake it in an oven-safe dish in the oven at 170 degrees, or in an air fryer or on the grill for about 20 minutes.
Spray it with a little olive oil beforehand.
The lemon gives it a very refreshing flavor—perfect as a side dish with grilled vegetables, salad, or on its own.
Try our Chili-Lime Seasoning Sauce with it, too!
Serving tip:
It goes well with anything that could use a little extra kick, such as grilled dishes—whether vegetables, tofu/seitan, mushrooms, meat, or fish. We also use it to jazz up pizza, pasta, potatoes, or soups. In our recipe, the sauce is paired with tofu in a miso-lemon coating.
