Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

12 ounces extra-firm tofu -- frozen, thawed, and pressed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon sweet white miso

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 tablespoon water

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon chili oil (optional)

3/4 to 1 pound mixed salad greens

seasoned rice vinegar

20 strips roasted red bell pepper -- about 2 inches long and 1/2

inch wide

 

In a shallow bowl, use a fork to mash and mix the soy sauce, mustard, miso,

maple syrup, water, sesame oil, and chili oil until thoroughly blended. Set

aside.

 

With the long side of the tofu block facing you, cut the tofu into 8 slices,

each about 1/2 inch thick. Cut each slice into two triangles.

 

Dip the triangles into the sauce to coat all sides. Arrange the triangles on a

broiling pan lined with aluminum foil.

 

With the top oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the broiling element, broil the tofu

triangles for 3 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly crusty on the

first side.

 

Turn the triangles over, and brush with the remaining sauce. Broil until the

second side iss browned. Set aside to cool slightly.

 

Divide the mixed salad greens among four plates. Lightly pour the rice vinegar

over the greens.

 

On top of the greens, arrange four tofu triangles per plate. Place five red

pepper strips over each serving, and serve.

 

Description:

" The distinctive marinade, combining sweet, salty, and spicy, gives

the tofu in this salad a real zing. "
