Peel and cube the sweet potato into 1-inch pieces. Press the firm tofu to remove excess water and cube it into 1-inch pieces.
~10 min - 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar to create the glaze. Set aside half of the glaze for later.
~3 min - 3
Add the sweet potato and tofu cubes to the remaining glaze in the bowl and gently toss to coat evenly.
~2 min - 4
Thread the glazed sweet potato and tofu onto skewers, alternating the pieces.
~5 min - 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
~5 min - 6
Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, and the tofu is lightly browned. Brush with the reserved glaze during the last few minutes of grilling.
~12 min - 7
While the skewers are grilling, whisk together yuzu juice and grapeseed oil in a small bowl for the drizzle.
~1 min - 8
Drizzle the yuzu mixture over the grilled skewers before serving.
Tips
- Soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use will prevent them from burning on the grill.
- These skewers can also be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, if grilling is not an option.
