Miso Tofu Edamame Nuggets Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Pat each slice of tofu dry with paper towels.
• Whisk together the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cayenne, honey or agave nectar, lime juice, miso, mirin, and oils. Pour into a dish that can accommodate all of the tofu slices in a single layer (such as a baking dish). Place the tofu slices in the marinade and turn them over. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes, turning once or twice. Transfer to the baking sheet. Add the peppers to the dish with the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly, then place on the baking sheet in a single layer.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the peppers once with tongs, until the edges of the tofu are just beginning to color and the marinade sets on the surface, and the peppers are sizzling and beginning to color on the edges. Remove from the heat.
• If desired, heat the kimchi in a small pan or saucepan. Spoon rice into 4 wide bowls or onto plates. Top with kimchi, tofu, and peppers. If desired, douse the rice with some of the remaining marinade from the tofu, and serve.

Steps:

• Saute green onion and chopped ginger in sesame oil until limp, 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
• Boil edamame in water to barely cover until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Chop very coarsely and set aside.
• Combine tofu, miso, salt (if needed) and green onion mixture until smooth (using hands or food processor). Fold in chopped edamame by hand or with a spatula.
• Divide into 9 pieces. Form each into a round or oval pattie and coat in cornstarch. Fry in vegetable oil 1" deep (the oil is hot enough when a small bit of the mixture turns brown in 3-4 seconds). Fry in batches without overcrowding, until browned all over. Drain on paper towel and cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring 6 cups of water to a bare simmer and add one strip kombu; let it soak 10 minutes, then remove it and chop; set aside.
• Meanwhile, saute a handful of sliced shiitakes in oil until crisp.
• Whisk a cup of the water with 1/2 cup miso in a bowl until smooth.
• Pour the miso mix into the water and add 1/2 pound silken tofu along with some shredded carrots, turnip and ginger, the chopped kombu and about a handful of cooked, shelled edamame.
• Let stand long enough to heat the tofu through, about a minute. Add some chopped scallions and the crisp shiitakes and serve.
