Soy-Glazed Tofu and Carrots

FLAVOR BOOSTER The carrots and tofu are both briefly marinated in a soy sauce mixture before being broiled. Scallions, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil lend other Asian elements. Be sure to use extra-firm tofu, as it will hold up better than other types of tofu.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 pounds carrots (8 to 9 medium), cut into 2-inch lengths (thick pieces halved lengthwise)

4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 to 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (unseasoned)
