GRILLED SOY, GINGER AND LIME TOFU STEAKS WITH CHARRED BABY BOK CHOY
These zesty marinated tofu steaks will become a summertime cookout favorite. Starting with well-dried tofu, adding brown sugar to the marinade and cooking slowly over medium heat helps create a crisp and flavorful crust on the tofu without drying out the center. Topped with extra marinade and sliced scallions and served with charred baby boy choy, this is a deliciously satisfying meal for all.

Steps:
- Put the tofu steaks on a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet and top with more paper towels, pressing gently to remove excess moisture. Remove the paper towels and towel and sprinkle the tofu with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Stir to combine the soy sauce, cilantro, lime juice, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and scallion whites in a medium bowl. Pour 1/3 cup of the marinade over the tofu steaks, flipping to coat both sides. Reserve the remaining marinade for serving.
- Put the bok choy on another rimmed baking sheet and brush all sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Prepare a grill for medium heat and brush the grates of the grill with oil.
- Put the tofu steaks and bok choy, cut-sides down, on the grill at an angle across the grates. Close the lid of the grill and cook for 5 minutes, then rotate both the tofu and the bok choy 90 degrees and cook another 5 minutes with the lid closed. Flip the tofu steaks and bok choy and cook for another 10 minutes with the lid closed, rotating 90 degrees halfway through to create crosshatch grill marks.
- Remove the tofu and bok choy to a platter. Spoon the reserved marinade over the tofu and bok choy and sprinkle the tofu steaks with the scallion greens and toasted sesame seeds.
CRISPY TOFU WITH MAPLE-SOY GLAZE
Whenever you're cooking tofu, here's one of our no-fail techniques: Draining the tofu, then squeezing out as much water as possible (without smashing it), is the key to the crispiest cubes.

Steps:
- Drain tofu, then sandwich between several layers of kitchen towels to remove excess liquid. Cut into 9 cubes.
- Whisk soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ginger in a small bowl.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. When oil is rippling across the surface, carefully add tofu so it doesn't splash. Cook, undisturbed, until very crisp and dark brown underneath, 3-4 minutes. Carefully turn and repeat on opposite side. Holding tofu back with a spatula or slotted spoon, pour out oil into a small bowl. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add soy sauce mixture. Cook, reducing heat to medium so it doesn't over-reduce or burn and basting tofu occasionally, until glaze is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 4 minutes.
- Divide tofu among plates. Drizzle with glaze, then top with scallions. Serve with rice alongside.
GLAZED TOFU WITH CHILE AND STAR ANISE
This sauce - a dark, star anise-spiced caramel intermingled with rice wine, soy sauce, ginger and scallions - builds sweet, acidic and umami notes as it coats and infuses tofu. Sichuan hui guo rou, or twice-cooked pork, inspired the technique which is used here with tofu: The blocks are first seared whole, then torn into bite-size pieces and returned to the pan, where the craggy edges absorb the sauce. Additions from your pantry, such as a spoonful of doubanjiang, or fermented broad bean paste, fermented black beans or chile oil can invite deeper, more complex flavors. Serve warm with steamed rice and stir-fried greens.

Steps:
- Place the tofu blocks between paper towels and press gently to remove excess liquid.
- In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, warm the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season both sides of the tofu with salt and place in the pan; sear without moving until the contact side is browned, about 4 minutes. Turn the pieces over and sear the other side until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer the tofu to a plate.
- Carefully add 1/2 cup water, the sugar and star anise to the pan. (The mixture will sputter and steam.) Cook, stirring, until the syrup is reduced and turns deep amber, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in the stock carefully (again being mindful of sputtering), Shaoxing, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and chile and cook, stirring frequently, until reduced, syrupy and glossy, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Use your fingers to break the tofu into 1/2-inch pieces, return to the pan and add the scallion whites. Toss to coat with the sauce and cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and discard the star anise and dried chile. Garnish with scallion greens and serve immediately with steamed rice.
SOY AND GINGER GLAZED TOFU
I love tofu...I like how it picks up the flavor of whatever sauce it's coated with. I especially liked this recipe where the tofu is browned a bit before having the sauce poured on top. This can be served warm or at room temperature. It would be a good addition to a bento box (Japanese boxed lunch). I found this gem in the Chicago Tribune, which attributes it to Ron Bilaro.

Steps:
- Stir cornstarch into water in a small bowl until dissolved; set aside. Heat vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; whisk dissolved cornstarch into the soy mixture. Cook, whisking, until mixture starts to thicken, about 20 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in ginger and garlic. Set aside.
- Spray a large skillet with cooking spray; heat over high heat. Add tofu and cook, turning turning several times, until all four sides of the block are beginning to brown, about 2 minutes each side. Set aside for 2 minutes and then slice into 6 slices. Transfer to a platter and pour soy mixture over slices, then garnish with the chopped green onions.
- You can slice and brown the tofu any way that you prefer -- cut it into logs, blocks or even little bunny shapes if that's what you like!

- Cut block of tofu into thirds crosswise, then cut each piece crosswise again into 3 pieces (you should have 9 square-ish pieces). Pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high. When oil is shimmering and easily slides across surface of pan, cook tofu, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, about 4 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until browned on second side, about 4 minutes. Transfer tofu to a plate, leaving oil in pan.
- Pour remaining 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil into skillet and heat over medium-high until shimmering. Add mushrooms to pan and cook, undisturbed, until crisp around the edges and browned underneath, about 4 minutes. Give mushrooms a toss and continue to cook, tossing often, until browned in most spots, about 4 minutes longer. Add tofu, celery, ginger, chile, soy sauce, and sesame oil to pan. Season lightly with salt and cook, tossing often, until celery is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and squeeze in lime juice. Scatter cilantro over and toss once more.
