BAKED MISO-GLAZED TOFU WITH WILD MUSHROOMS



Baked Miso-Glazed Tofu With Wild Mushrooms image

Asian flavors suit mushrooms as well as the Mediterranean seasonings I usually work with. This Japanese-inspired miso glaze is used with both the tofu, as a glaze, and as a flavoring for the mushrooms. I used a mixed mushroom pack from Whole Foods for this, which included varieties of enokis and maitakes, with both thin and thick stems that had a nice meaty texture but weren't tough like shiitake stems. If salt is a concern, look for a lower-sodium miso, now available from a few companies.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake, vegetable or mushroom stock, or chicken stock
2 rounded tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil, divided
1 pound mixed wild mushrooms - recommend enoki type mushrooms and maitakes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or grape seed oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt to taste
1/4 cup dry white wine
Pinch of cayenne (more to taste)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 14-ounce block firm tofu

Steps:

  • To make the miso glaze, combine mirin and sake or stock in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in miso and sugar. Whisk over medium heat until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
  • If mushrooms have thick long stems, cut stems in half and then into 1/2-inch pieces. Separate all of the clumps of mushrooms into individual mushrooms. You can use the bottom of the clump. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Heat a wok or wide heavy skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates in a second. Add 1 tablespoon olive or grapeseed oil and mushrooms and sear without moving for 30 seconds, then stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until they begin to sweat. Turn heat to medium and add garlic. Stir-fry 30 seconds, then add salt to taste and stir-fry until mushrooms are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and stir-fry until it is no longer visible in the pan. Add 3 tablespoons of miso glaze, stir together and remove from heat.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Transfer remaining glaze to a wide bowl and whisk in remaining sesame oil, cayenne, remaining grapeseed or peanut oil and soy sauce. Cut tofu into 8 to 10 slices and pat dry with paper towels. Dip each slice into miso glaze, making sure to coat both sides. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, until edges are just beginning to color.
  • Gently reheat mushrooms. Place a couple of slices of tofu on each plate, top with the mushrooms and serve.

Simmer tofu in a Japanese-style marinade, then serve in a zingy Korean-inspired salad with colour and crunch

Provided by Celia Brooks Brown

Categories     Main course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 19

300g beansprout
1 red pepper , deseeded and sliced into thin strips
100g radish (about 12), trimmed and quartered
2 spring onions , finely sliced on the diagonal
75g pack pea shoots
50g roasted peanut , roughly chopped, to serve
3 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 garlic clove , crushed
1cm piece ginger , peeled and finely grated
3 tbsp sunflower oil or rapeseed oil
400g fresh firm tofu (we used 2 x 200g blocks)
1 tbsp miso paste
150ml mirin
75ml reduced-salt soy sauce
3 large eggs
1 tbsp mirin
½ tsp sunflower oil or rapeseed oil

Steps:

  • Prepare the beansprout salad. Put the beansprouts in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 2 mins, then drain well and leave to cool, tossing with your hand from time to time to speed up the cooling. Combine with the pepper, radishes and spring onion.
  • To make the dressing, whisk together all the ingredients except the oil until the sugar dissolves. Trickle in the oil slowly while whisking to emulsify. Stir the dressing through the beansprout mixture and chill until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain the tofu, wrap the whole block in kitchen paper, and press gently to absorb excess moisture. Unwrap and cut in half across the middle, then in half again diagonally, to create four triangles. If using 2 packs, you will end up with 8 smaller triangles.
  • To prepare the tofu glaze, place the miso paste in a cup and add 2 tbsp of boiling water. Whisk with a fork until completely smooth. Pour into a pan that the tofu will fit into in a single layer. Add the mirin and soy sauce, stir and bring to the boil. Add the tofu to the sauce and simmer for 15 mins, turning the tofu carefully halfway through.
  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Carefully lift the tofu from the sauce and place on the tray. Cook in the oven for 15 mins, then turn off the oven and leave the tofu in to keep warm. Meanwhile, to thicken the glaze, raise the heat to a medium boil, stir occasionally,until syrupy. Set aside.
  • To make the egg strands, beat together the eggs and mirin with 2 tbsp cold water and a large pinch of salt until well mixed, but not frothy. Heat a medium non-stick pan over a low-medium heat and add the oil, spreading it over the surface with a spatula. Pour in a quarter of the egg mixture and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan, forming a very thin omelette. Cook for about 4-5 mins until the top is dry and the bottom is set but not too brown. Carefully remove from the pan (no need to flip) and place on a plate. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, adding a touch more oil if the pan seems dry. Stack the omelettes on top of each other and cool. Don't worry if they rip or buckle, but do stack them up as flat as possible. Once cool enough to handle, roll them up carefully into a tight sausage and slice thinly with a sharp knife.
  • Remove the tofu from the oven and spoon a bit of glaze over the top of each piece, spreading with the back of a spoon. (If the glaze has cooled completely and is too thick, reheat slightly until spoonable). Reserve any remaining glaze to finish.
  • To assemble, arrange the beansprout salad on a plate. Place the tofu steaks on top of the salad and scatter with the egg strands, peanuts and pea shoots. Finish with a drizzle of the glaze.
