MacKenzie Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) The twist is no meat kabobs. Mushrooms, potatoes, peppers and cubes of tofu. I froze the tofu, thawed the next day, drained and marinated it in 2 different sauces overnight. Freezing the tofu makes it more chewy and also holds more of the marinade. Ready for the grill. Kabobs on the KK. Done. Plated. Tofu interior. I really did like the chew on the tofu, best tofu I've had to date. Actually really didn't miss the meat and I will be doing this cook again.

Tofu has never been high on my list of things to eat but this "might" make me think otherwise. Which two sauces did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which two sauces did you use? I hope you do try it, extra firm is the one to buy. One sauce was one that I had made for ribs, it was garlicky with soy, oyster sauce type sauce and the other one was a doctored bottle of bbq sauce that I enhanced. Both worked. I think any sauce you like would do the trick so why not venture out and give it a try. The potatoes where steam cooked before put them on the skewers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) @tekobo, no plans to go meatless around here but this was very tasty. I might have to throw it in the rotation. Wait now, it seems to me you were the one who did a cauliflower steak. Edited May 17, 2018 by MacKenzie 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Deep down I know you really want to try this, CK. Bruce, I knew you would be brave about this. Don't forget to freeze the tofu first, then thaw and drain well, only then marinate overnight in whatever sauce you like. You're my hero Bruce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Pearson Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 I think Mac must be one of those food photographers for a magazine. The only thing is she not only takes great pictures she also cooks those great looking and tasty meals! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 I did my time with tofu. I made a tofu Wellington once. That was a lifetime of tofu in one cook. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
