Ingredients

Tofu & BBQ Glaze

1 14- to 16-ounce package extra-firm water-packed tofu, drained
3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
½ cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
¾ cup finely chopped scallions
¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons gochujang
2 tablespoons chili powder or paprika
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon toasted (dark) sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons white miso
2 teaspoons molasses

Cabbage

3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted (dark) sesame oil
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 ½ cups sliced scallions (2-inch pieces), plus 1/4 cup thinly sliced for garnish
12 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage (1 3/4-2 pounds)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, divided

Directions

To prepare tofu: Cut tofu crosswise into 8 equal pieces and press for 1 to 4 hours (see Tips).
To prepare BBQ glaze: Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Stir in scallions, 1/4 cup soy sauce, gochujang, chili powder (or paprika), vinegar, water, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, honey, miso and molasses. Transfer to a medium bowl. Refrigerate until cool.
To marinate tofu: Spread each side of the tofu pieces with 1 teaspoon BBQ glaze. Place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
To grill tofu: Preheat grill to medium. Brush both sides of the tofu with the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Generously oil the grill rack. Grill the tofu until lightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
To prepare cabbage: Combine soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl and place near the stove. Heat peanut oil in a large flat-bottom carbon-steel wok over high heat until very hot. Add scallion pieces and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add cabbage and cook, stirring, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce mixture and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.
Transfer the cabbage to a serving bowl or platter. Top with the grilled tofu. Drizzle the tofu with 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce. Garnish with sliced scallions and the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Serve with the remaining sauce, if desired.

Tips

To make ahead: Refrigerate BBQ glaze (Step 2) for up to 2 weeks; marinate tofu (Step 3) for up to 1 day.

Tips: To press tofu: Cut a 14- to 16-ounce block of tofu crosswise into 8 equal pieces. Place a clean kitchen towel on a baking sheet. Place the tofu on the towel in a single layer; cover with another towel. Place another baking sheet on top and weight it with two 28-ounce cans. Let stand for 1 to 4 hours.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
