    Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder to create the glaze.

    ~2 min
  4. 4

    Add the tofu cubes and mushroom pieces to the bowl with the glaze. Gently toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    ~15 min

    While the tofu and mushrooms marinate, prepare the black garlic aioli. In a small bowl, mash the black garlic cloves into a paste. Add mayonnaise and lemon juice, and whisk until well combined.

    Thread the marinated tofu and mushrooms onto skewers, alternating between the two.

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil.

    ~5 min

    Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is lightly browned and the mushrooms are tender and slightly charred.

    ~10 min

    Serve the Miso-Glazed Mushroom and Tofu Skewers immediately with the black garlic aioli on the side.

Tips

  • For extra crispy tofu, pat the pressed tofu cubes very dry before marinating.
  • The black garlic aioli can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
