Ingredients
For the Dry Rub:
- 2 tbsp. umami blend Simply Organic Original brand
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. cumin powder
- 1 tbsp. smoked paprika
- 1 tsp red chili flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 Korean style BBQ sauce packet of
For the Skewers:
- 12-15 skewers
- 1 tofu extra firm, large block
- 2 cups button mushrooms washed
- 1 red pepper cut into 1-1/2 inch squares
- 1 cup cherry tomato
- 1 red onion cut into cubes
- 2 zucchini cut into 1/2 inch rounds, medium-sized
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 black pepper fresh cracked
- cilantro fresh, for garnish
- lime fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Remove tofu from the package and press to remove as much liquid as possible. Cut Tofu into desired sized squares, place in a large mixing bowl, and set aside.
- Into a medium-sized bowl, combine all the spices (apart from the BBQ Sauce) and toss over the tofu and mix till all the tofu is well coated. To the bowl, add the BBQ sauce, combine and marinate in the fridge, covered for up to 1 hour.
- For the vegetables, prep them separately and soak your skewers in water to avoid burning.
- When your tofu is done marinating, begin threading the tofu and vegetables onto the skewers. Save any excess sauce for brushing/adding more sauce later.
- Heat grill or BBQ to medium-high heat and grill skewers for 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and charred/crispy. Brush the skewers with any remaining sauce and continue to do so till the skewers are cooked.
- Serve the tofu with fresh cilantro and lime!
Notes
- Tofu: You have to use firm tofu or tempeh here. If you have a tofu press, be sure to use it!
- Spice Rub: Have fun with this! You can truly use whatever you have on hand but stick to these ratios to have a spice that is the highlight/star of the dish!
- Soak the skewers: This is important to prevent any of your skewers from catching a light.
- How long do I marinade for: The longer the better but you should try to do this for at least 1 hour.
