Miso Glazed Tofu
Miso Glazed Tofu
This is a fantastic, slightly spicy vegetarian dish that could easily pass for meat thanks to the deep, savory flavours of miso, soy sauce and sesame oil. For a vegan variation, leave out the honey.

Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp rice-wine vinegar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice tofu into 6 pieces and dry with paper towels, taking care not to break them.
