Lemon-melon tofu #140

Now this was a "challenge" again. Tofu...I even don't know what kind of chop-board I had to us for this...It's not fish,not meat,not a veggie...now what...This is the first time I had tofu,and don't know what to expected from it.So we had Tofu,melon,peas and potato's.Ok lets get started.I was thinking of the melon,what to do with it? I opted to make a marinade from melon.This is how I did It,Use the juice of half a melon,add the zest of a lemon,and juice of a lemon,1Cm fresh ginger thin sliced,2 gloves garlic,1 tsp 5 spice powder and 1Tbsp kikoman soy sauce.Let it marinade for a few hours.The peas and potato's were simply sprinkled with olive oil,salt and pepper,and a little bit of the marinade from the tofu.Then baked in a skillet on the Weber.The last 6 minutes were for the tofu on a high heated clean and oiled grate.Be careful with the tofu,it's very fragile.We all tried it,the taste was....to be honest...not bad..;-) but never eat it again!

Originally focused on BBQ and Homebrew, it was inevitable that the influences of his upbringing in the San Francisco Bay Area and it’s wealth of ingredients as well as his heritage as an American of Japanese ancestry would help focus his blog, as it has his approach to food and drink.

Better Recipes “The Daily Dish”Kristina has been writing “The Daily Dish” for www.BetterRecipes.com for the past two years. The blog covers a wide variety of recipes, but firing up the grill truly lights up her passion for food! She was named “America’s Next Pork Personality” by Guy Fieri for one of her grilled pork dishes, won the outdoor grilling division of the National Beef Cook-Off, and her winning grilled lamb-burger took her all the way to the land Down Under with Meat and Livestock Australia. The “4-Ingredient Challenge” is a fun and exciting way to get creative on the grill!

LivefireLivefire cooking is about taking ordinary cooking and adding the flavor of fire to it, whether in high heat grilling, low heat smoking or indirect heat for baking. It’s about taking the primitive element of fire and harnessing it to make great food.

  1. It looks like your experience and reaction was about the same as ours. At least now we can all say that we have TRIED tofu, ha ha.

    I didn't care for it either, plain or in a meal.

    I think we all get extra credit for even trying!

  2. You get points for at least attempting this and then eating the results. And like Chris and yourself, I don't ever plan on doing this again. I don't mind tofu in my miso soup, but it should never be a main course.

  3. Good looking attempt! I hope to never see tofu on my grill again, though. :) I have people keep telling me that tofu is great, but I have yet to see that proven out.

  5. Somehow when I think of fire and wood, tofu does not occur to me (smile)....That was a real challenge! I like the ingredients you used to marinate the tofu.
