INGREDIENTS
- 1 16-ounce container extra-firm tofu
- 3/4 cup green hot sauce (e.g. Trader Joe’s Green Dragon)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 bunch scallions
- 1 container cherry tomatoes
- bamboo skewers
DIRECTIONS
Cut tofu into 1 inch cubes. Drain well on paper towels.
Put hot sauce, soy sauce, and white miso paste in a blender with 3 chopped scallions and garlic cloves. Blend with 1/4 cup water until smooth.
Marinate tofu overnight in the sauce.
Soak skewers in lemon water, at least 30 minutes.
Cut remaining scallions into 1 inch pieces.
Thread tofu onto skewers alternating with scallion and cherry tomatoes. Shake off excess sauce as you thread; keep for basting.
Grill tofu 3-5 minutes, brushing with sauce. Or cook under the broiler in an oven. Cherry tomatoes should be on the edge of bursting.
