BBQ Sriracha baked tofu with quick pickled veggies

The pickled veggies:

  • Thinly slice some carrot and cucumber
  • In a baking dish mix together a few tablespoons of miso paste, crushed garlic, and splash of sake (or gin or sherry)
  • Submerge the veggies in the miso-mix and soak for about 30 min

The Tofu:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400º F
  • Take one package of extra firm tofu and press out the moisture w/some paper towels
  • Slice tofu into 1/4” pieces
  • In a bowl mix together some bbq sauce of your choice, some sriracha, a clove of crushed garlic, and some sesame oil (I don’t like to measure if you can’t tell)
  • Place the tofu on a baking sheet w/parchment paper and brush with sauce
  • Bake for 20 min, then flip and brush the other side with more sauce, bake another 20 min
  • Remove from oven and enjoy!

I plan on serving this dish with some brown rice and steamed edamame, after I make it this week I’ll add pics to the post since I have two days off mid-week. Gotta love time for long runs and semi-complicated meals!
