Vegan Hawaiian Huli Huli Tofu Skewers with Coconut Rice
Marinated and grilled tofu skewers with a sweet and savory Huli Huli sauce, served with fluffy coconut rice.
Ingredients
- 2 blocks Firm Tofu
- 0.5 cup Soy Sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 2 cups Cooked Rice
- 1 cup Coconut Milk
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Press the 2 blocks of Firm Tofu to remove excess water, then cut them into 2.54 cm cubes.
- 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 0.5 cup Soy Sauce, 0.25 cup Brown Sugar, 1 tablespoon Ginger, 2 cloves Garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil, and 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar until the brown sugar is dissolved to make the Huli Huli marinade.
- 3Add the cubed tofu to the bowl with the Huli Huli marinade, ensuring all the tofu is coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- 4While the tofu marinates, combine the 2 cups Cooked Rice and 1 cup Coconut Milk in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the coconut milk is fully absorbed and the rice is fluffy, about 5-10 minutes. Be careful not to scorch the bottom.
- 5Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each cube. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
- 6Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around about 205°C or 200°C). Grill the tofu skewers for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized on all sides. Alternatively, bake in an oven preheated to about 205°C (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
- 7Serve the grilled tofu skewers immediately alongside the fluffy coconut rice.
