In my post last week, I was discussing the possible problems that can arise when only one member of your family is vegetarian. Here is a recipe that you can make in a few minutes that will make everyone happy. This miso marinade can go over both chicken and tofu. I have doubled the original marinade recipe so that you can put them into separate bowls.
The recipe makes a paste, rather than a more liquid marinade so I added some sake to loosen it up. If you don't have sake, then you can use water. I cooked it on top of the stove as suggested, but you could grill it in the oven as well. You can get miso at any Asian food store, a health food store, and in some regular grocery stores. Look for a lighter miso for this recipe.
Add a green vegetable and some rice, and you have a really tasty dinner that you can all eat together.Miso Chicken and Miso Tofu
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 oz each)
1 lb firm or extra firm tofu
1 teaspoon canola oil
Marinade:
4 tablespoons miso paste
3 teaspoons light sesame oil
3 teaspoons chopped ginger
3 teaspoons chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1. Place chicken in a shallow dish. Slice tofu and place in another shallow dish.
2. Combine marinade ingredients with 1 tablespoon water; pour half over meat, half over tofu.
3. Chill, covered, 1 to 2 hours.
4. Remove chicken from marinade; drain excess. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Repeat with tofu. Cook chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Cook tofu until heated through, turning once.
