Prepare Crosshatch Smoked Tofu with Smoky Barbecue Marinade

Step by step, I will show you how to score the smoked tofu in a crosshatch pattern and prepare it with a smoky barbecue marinade. It is served with caramelized braising onions for the perfect flavor.

It's best to prepare several at once, pack them in the fridge, and forget about them for a few days. Meal prep and super juicy marinated tofu can be really simple.

Step-by-Step Guide

1
Cut crosshatch pattern

Place the smoked tofu lengthwise on two skewers and make diagonal cuts. Turn it over and make cuts from the other side in the opposite direction to create the typical crosshatch pattern.

🔪
Do not cut too deep so that the tofu holds together.
2
Prepare marinade

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade and marinate the smoked tofu in it, preferably in a storage container overnight, for at least 15 minutes.

⏰
The longer the marinating time, the more intense the flavor.
3
Prepare caramelized onions

Sauté the onion until translucent, reduce the heat and deglaze with the broth. Add maple syrup and let it caramelize slightly.

🔥
Caramelize over low heat for best results
4
Fry tofu

Sear the smoked tofu on both sides over medium heat and brush it again with the marinade at the end.

🍳
Use medium heat so that the marinade does not burn.
