INSTRUCTIONS
For the marinade add scallions, garlic and ginger to a food processor or
blender and pulse until finely chopped (can also be done by hand)
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil and stir-fry scallions mixture for a
minute or two. Stir in the soy sauce and sugar and bring to a boil. Off
heat, cool slightly and stir in sesame oil and red chile flakes, if using..
Cool and pour over the tofu cubes and marinate for at least 1 hour and up
to 4 hours. Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes and then
attractively thread pieces of marinated tofu, mushrooms, peppers and onions
on skewers. Brush vegetables with leftover marinade and then grill or broil
until vegetables are crisp and tender. Serve with Sesame Spinach.
Yield: 4-6 serving
NOTES : Be sure to leave root end on onion to hold wedge together
