Ingredients
2 cups packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for grill
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 scallions, green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
14 ounces extra-firm tofu, sliced into 12 pieces, drained, and pressed
Preparation
Heat grill to medium. In a food processor, combine cilantro, 1/4 cup oil, jalapeno, ginger, lime juice, and scallions. Blend until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
Brush tofu with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Lightly brush grates with oil. Grill tofu, turning halfway through, until charred in spots, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from grill and brush with ginger-cilantro sauce. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.
