Tofu cubes are marinated in a delicious mixture of soy sauce, scallions and more before being grilled on skewers with chopped vegetables. This is a healthy choice for outdoor cooking.

Ingredients

  • 4 scallions, coarsely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
  • 1 block firm tofu, cut in 3/4 inch cube
  • 1/3 pound crimini or shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1-inch squares
  • 1 red or yellow onion, peeled and diced

Instructions

For the marinade add scallions, garlic and ginger to a food processor or blender and pulse until finely chopped (can also be done by hand) In a small skillet, heat the olive oil and stir-fry scallions mixture for a minute or two. Stir in the soy sauce and sugar and bring to a boil. Off heat, cool slightly and stir in sesame oil and red chile flakes, if using.. Cool and pour over the tofu cubes and marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
