Serves 5

Korean BBQ Tofu Tacos

For the tofu marinade:

3 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon chili garlic paste

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

2 teaspoon lime juice

1 clove garlic, thinly sliced

For the chili-soy vinaigrette:

1/2 teaspoon chili garlic paste

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

3 tablespoons canola oil

To complete the tacos:

8 ounces firm tofu, diced into ½ inch cubes

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 cup green cabbage, chopped

1/4 cup your favorite green tomatillo salsa

10 green onions, sliced

1 ounce cilantro, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

10 corn tortillas

To marinate the tofu:

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, chili garlic paste, fish sauce, ginger, lime juice and sliced garlic. Toss marinade with tofu and allow tofu to marinate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure that the marinade is evenly distributed.

To make the vinaigrette:

In a small bowl, combine chili garlic paste, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and canola oil.

To complete the tacos:

Dress the cabbage with the vinaigrette to taste. You may not need all of the vinaigrette.

Toss the onions with the cilantro.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Remove the tofu from the marinade using a slotted spoon and sauté in the wok for 2-3 minutes, or until tofu is heated through.

Warm the corn tortillas by placing them on a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side.

Place a few spoonfuls of sautéed tofu in each warmed tortillas. Top with dressed cabbage, green salsa, green onions, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
