Instructions

Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
~5 min - 2
Clean the mushrooms and cut off the stems. If mushrooms are large, quarter them.
~5 min - 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder to create the glaze.
~2 min - 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 - 5
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.
~5 min - 6
Thread the marinated tofu and mushrooms onto skewers, alternating between the two.
~5 min - 7
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil.
~5 min - 8
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 - 9
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.
