Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 dash Coarse salt

1 1/2 pounds carrots (8 to 9 medium) -- cut into 2-inch

lengths (thick pieces halved lengthwise)

2 packages extra-firm tofu -- (12 to 14 ounces each)

drained, each block cut into 16 equal pieces (32 total)

4 scallions -- thinly sliced

1 tablespoon rice vinegar -- (1 to 2)

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil -- (1 to 2)

 

Heat broiler. If using a broilerproof rimmed baking sheet, set rack 4

inches from heat; if using a broiler pan, set rack so that top of pan is

4 inches from heat. In a large bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, soy

sauce, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add carrots; toss to coat.

 

With a slotted spoon, transfer carrots (reserving bowl with marinade) to

sheet (or pan). Push carrots to one side.

 

Working with a few pieces at a time, add tofu to marinade in bowl; turn

gently to coat, and transfer to sheet. Reserve bowl with marinade.

 

Broil until carrots are tender and tofu is browned, turning tofu halfway

through cooking time and tossing carrots occasionally (more frequently

toward end of cooking time), 30 to 35 minutes.

 

Transfer tofu and carrots to reserved bowl with marinade. Add scallions,

vinegar, and sesame oil; toss gently to combine.

Note: Be sure to use extra-firm tofu in this recipe, as it will hold

up better than other types of tofu when broiled and tossed.
