Tofu supplies complete protein with all nine essential amino acids and no cholesterol. Most of the fat is unsaturated and comes from the soy and sesame. Sodium is the ingredient to watch, driven by the tamari and the miso in the sub-recipe.

Instructions

Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes to drive off water, then cut into cubes.
Whisk the tamari, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, rice vinegar and sesame oil into a marinade. Turn the tofu through it and leave for 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the fridge.
Prepare the Homemade Miso Mayonnaise Marmalade while the tofu marinates.
Thread the tofu onto the soaked skewers, alternating with pepper pieces and onion wedges.
Grill over direct medium heat for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3 minutes and brushing with the remaining marinade, until the tofu is lacquered and the edges are charred.
Scatter with black sesame seeds and serve with the miso mayonnaise marmalade spooned over or alongside.

Homemade Miso Mayonnaise Marmalade (Health Score: )

HealthScore: 79

Strong on complete plant protein and unsaturated fat, with a good vegetable share. Held back by sodium from the tamari and miso, and by the maple syrup in the marinade.
