Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1
Press the firm tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water, then slice it into 1-inch thick rectangles.
Aşçının notu: Pressing the tofu ensures a firmer texture and better absorption of the glaze.
2
Preheat your oven broiler to high or set the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, sake, sugar, and sesame oil until smooth to create the glaze.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
4
Arrange the sliced tofu on the prepared baking sheet.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
5
Brush a generous layer of the miso glaze over both sides of each tofu slice.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Ensure an even coating for best flavor and caramelization.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the glaze starts to bubble and slightly caramelize.
Yaklaşık 12 dk.
Aşçının notu: Keep a close eye on the tofu to prevent burning, especially if using the broiler.
7
If using a broiler, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze is deeply golden brown and slightly charred in spots.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Watch carefully, as broilers can quickly burn food.
8
Remove the tofu from the oven.
9
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onion before serving.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: Serve immediately while warm.
