For the Marinade

Garlic Clove	2
Extra Virgin Olive Oil	1 tbsp
Sesame Oil	1 tbsp
Chilli Flakes	1 tsp
Soy Sauce	2 tbsp
Miso Paste	2 tbsp
Rice Vinegar	2 tbsp

Others

Firm Tofu	400 g

step 1

Prepare the miso marinade by combining freshly grated ginger, crushed garlic, extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, chilli flakes, soy sauce, miso paste, and rice vinegar in a bowl.

Whisk well until the ingredients are well incorporated.

step 2

Dice the tofu into bite-sized cubes and toss them in the marinade until well coated.

Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. The tofu would be more flavourful the longer you let it marinate in the fridge, like 2-4 hours or ideally overnight.

step 3

Once marinated, arrange the miso glazed tofu in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Bake the tofu in the preheated oven at 180°C (355°F) for 35 minutes flipping the cubes halfway through cooking time. They should be golden brown.

Your miso marinated tofu is ready! Serve it with rice or noodle dishes or just enjoy it on its own.

We especially recommend it with a salad bowl of spinach, edamame beans, and nutritious Goji berries, topped with toasted sesame seeds.

Foodacious Tips

Before you dice the tofu, you can pat it dry with a kitchen towel and place a small plate on top of it weighing it down with something heavy (like tins of beans). Then, leave it for 10 minutes to squeeze out excess water. This way it will be less soggy and crispier once baked.
You can add a drizzle of maple syrup to the marinade for a sweet and sour flavour.
You can also use an air-fryer to grill this miso sauce tofu more quickly than in the oven.
Store the miso marinated tofu in an airtight container for 2 days.
