Ingredients




1 Tbsp ground ginger
1 Tbsp ground coriander
1-1/2 t turmeric
1-1/2 t garlic powder
3 Tbsp vegetable oil – more for the grill
1 Tbsp Sambal Oelek (Asian chile paste)
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 t sea salt
2 cakes of fresh tofu
Salsa
2 C fresh mango (small dice)
1 roasted red pepper (small dice)
1/2 C coarsely chopped roasted peanuts
1/2 C thinly sliced green onions
3 Tbsp chopped basil
1 tbsp chopped mint
1 Tbs minced jalapeño
2 Tbsp lime juice

Preparation

1 Heat 2 Tbsp of the oil in a small frying pan over low heat. 2 When hot, remove from heat and add ginger, coriander, turmeric and garlic powder. Mix together well. 3 Mix together Sambal Oelek, brown sugar and salt. 4 Add spice mixture and stir well. Mixture will be a thick paste. 5 Cut tofu into 1/2 inch planks. 6 Coat tofu with a smooth layer of the paste and let rest at room temperature to marinate for an hour or overnight. (Refrigerate if marinating for longer than an hour.) 7 Mix together salsa ingredients including the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil. 8 Prepare a counter-top or stovetop grill and oil well. Set to medium high. 9 When hot, grill tofu planks until nicely grill-marked – about 4-5 minutes per side. 10 Serve hot or at room temperature with salsa. 11 Enjoy! 12 M
