Do you all remember the Ginger Tamarind Grilled Shrimp with Pineapple Salsa that I posted last month? Well, I fell in love with that La Victoria brand pineapple salsa that I decided to create some more goodies to go with it. I wanted to make something vegetarian with it this time around, so I can enjoy it too and not just let the husband and the kiddo devour it.

The whole sweet and spicy thing worked really well with this salsa last time around and I wanted to play around with the same concept. I also love the tropical taste and feel you get with this lovely salsa that I added some ginger to my tofu marinade. The earthiness and heat from the ginger along with more heat from the chili garlic paste and all that sweetness from the sugar in the tofu marinade and the pineapple in the salsa, just made every bite of these tacos a whole lot fun!

These tacos are also easy breezy to cook this summer. They are also great to pack away with you for a summer picnic. Just mix in the ingredients for the marinade, cook it a little on the stove top, add the tofu cubes in it, heat up a grill (stove top works fine) and grill the tofu cubes. While that’s happening, pickle the onions and purple cabbage in vinegar. Heat up the tortillas on the grill as well. You can pack up all these components separately with the La Victoria Pineapple Salsa and assemble when needed or put it together right away and dig into it, if you cant wait.

Ok, now that I enticed you enough, lets get straight to the recipe

Sweet Ginger Chile Grilled Tofu Tacos with Pineapple Salsa – The Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1,16 oz package of extra firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoon chili garlic paste
  • 3 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 8 - 10 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup sliced purple cabbage
  • ½ cup sliced red onions
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • salt, to taste
  • cracked black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup La Victoria Pineapple Salsa

Method:

Drain the water from the tofu. Press it between two sheets of paper towels and drain well. Cut into 2x1x½ inch slabs.

Mix the chili garlic paste, sugar and water in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil and then simmer for 3-4 minutes till it thickens. Brush this marinade over the tofu slabs on both sides and keep aside for 5 mins.

Heat a stove top grill and brush the oil on it. Place the tofu slabs and grill once on each side for 2-3 mins each. Grill the corn tortillas as well.

Meanwhile, add the vinegar, salt and pepper to the cabbage and onions and pickle them quickly.

Cut the tofu in half lengthwise before assembling – we keep the slabs bigger to keep the tofu from falling apart while grilling.

Assemble with a few pieces of grilled tofu in each tortilla, topped with the pickled veggies and then some La Victoria Pineapple salsa.
