Starting a new week of blogging marathon today and my theme for this week is ‘Pick a protein and post recipes with it’. I chose tofu as my protein and have 3 delicious and different recipes this week. First up is an easy to make and addictive recipe, Korean Tofu BBQ Tacos.Tofu is one of our family favorite ingredient. I don’t exactly how that happened, but both my picky eaters enjoy tofu too. They love to snack on crispy sauteed or baked tofu. I have started making a lot of paneer based dishes vegan by using tofu. Palak tofu happens to be a family favorite 🙂I had initially planned to make this Korean Tofu BBQ Tacos for last month’s mega marathon. It was on my ‘Street Food’ list, but didn’t get a chance to make these then. Korean style tacos have become quite popular in the past few years. This Korean-Mexican fusion dish are sold at food trucks and I have been planning to make them for quite some time now. Korean style tacos are generally made with meat but tofu is a great vegan substitute to use in this recipe. I used Sara Moulton’s Korean Tofu BBQ Tacos recipe. Tofu is marinated in gojuchang (Korean red pepper paste), maple syrup and sesame oil. When baked tofu gets crispy, golden and very addictive.To serve, charred corn tortillas are smeared with sriracha mayo, then topped with the baked tofu, kimchi (homemade or store-bought) and baby spinach. This dish is spicy, sweet, salty and absolutely delicious. Try this recipe, I am sure you will love it. Lets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked today for BM# 88.
