Bulgogi Tofu Skewers

Bulgogi Tofu Skewers are a delightful fusion of Korean flavors and plant-based goodness, featuring marinated tofu grilled to perfection. These skewers are both savory and satisfying, perfect for a light meal or an appetizer.

Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Soy sauce - 60 ml
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Green onion, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mushrooms, sliced - 100 grams
• Bell pepper, cut into chunks - 1 medium
• Zucchini, cut into chunks - 1 small
• Skewers (wooden or metal) - 4-6 pieces

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 2 cm cubes.
2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onion, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and let them soak for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally for even flavor absorption.
4. While the tofu marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the mushrooms, bell pepper, and zucchini into similar-sized pieces.
5. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
6. Thread the marinated tofu and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between tofu and veggies.
7. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is slightly charred and the vegetables are tender.
8. Remove from the grill and serve hot, optionally garnished with additional green onions.
