Ingredients
  1. 2 (12-ounce) packages tofu (firm or extra firm)
  2. For the Sauce:
  3. 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
  4. 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
  5. 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  6. 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  7. For the Toppings:
  8. 2 stalks green onions
  9. For the Base:
  10. 1 1/2 cup steamed rice
  11. 1 bunch of kale
Directions
  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Prepare the tofu. Cut tofu into 1-inch squares by cutting the block of tofu in half horizontally, then vertically, from front to back and left to right.
  3. Prepare the shoyu sauce. Peel and grate the ginger and add to the soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Make sure all items are combined well, as the sesame oil will float to the top.
  4. Prepare the green onions. Rinse and cut off the tops and discard. Continue to cut across the green onions as thin as possible to make very small rings.
  5. Assemble your poke bowl. Gently mix the tofu and, sauce in a bowl, not breaking the tofu. Use enough shoyu sauce just to coat the tofu.
  6. Sprinkle the green onions to taste.
  7. To serve, rice or kale can be used as a base, depending on personal preference.

View ingredients & steps
Ingredients
  1. 3 tbsp. soy sauce
  2. 1 tbsp. rice vinegar
  3. 3 cloves garlic (minced fine and crushed)
  4. 2 tbsp. ketchup (hoisin sauce or barbecue sauce)
  5. 1 tbsp. maple syrup
  6. 1 tsp. sugar
  7. 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  8. 2 tsp. hot sauce (or to taste, I used Sriracha sauce)
  9. 1 extra-firm block tofu (well-pressed and cut into cubes, triangles, or slabs)
Directions
  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. First, prepare the tofu. Like most vegan tofu recipes, this one will taste best if you press the tofu first. Pressing allows the tofu to absorb more of the flavorings and seasonings which you add to it. Not sure how to do that? See this easy step-by-step guide on how to press tofu. Cut into cubes or triangles.
  3. Whisk together all the ingredients except for the tofu to form a marinade.
  4. Place the tofu in a wide shallow container and cover with marinade, making sure each piece of tofu is coated well. Allow tofu to marinade for at least 20 minutes.
  5. Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
  6. Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick spray or use a bit of oil, any kind, if you don't have non-stick spray.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
  8. Then use a spatula to turn the tofu pieces over and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes. Tofu pieces should be lightly crisped and not soft and squishy, but not charred.
  9. Serve Korean barbecue tofu and enjoy!

View ingredients & steps
Ingredients
  1. 2/3 cup plain yogurt (or lemon, use a vegan non-dairy yogurt if you need this recipe to be vegan)
  2. 1 1/2 tbsp. lime juice
  3. 1 1/2 tbsp. tandoori spice blend
  4. 3/4 tsp. garlic powder
  5. 3/4 tsp. ginger powder
  6. 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  7. 1/4 tsp. salt
  8. 1/8 tsp. black pepper
  9. 1 pound tofu (firm or extra-firm, one block, well-pressed, and chopped into cubes)
Directions
  1. Like most baked, fried, stir-fried tofu, and grilled tofu recipes, this one will taste best if you press the tofu first. This allows the tofu to absorb more of the flavorings and seasonings which you add to it.
  2. Prepare the bamboo skewers by soaking them.
  3. Whisk together all ingredients, except tofu, until well combined. Add the tofu, covering well with sauce. Chill for at least 30 minutes; longer is better, turning once or twice to ensure tofu stays well-marinated.
  4. Transfer the marinated tofu to skewers, basting again with the tandoori sauce.
  5. Place on a pre-heated grill for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once or twice, until tofu is cooked and crisp.
  6. Pair these tandoori tofu skewers with fresh homemade cucumber raita.
