Teyiyaki Tofu Kabobs - 17g Carbs, 2g Fiber, 14g Sugar
Yield: 4 servings (2 skewers per serving)
From: The Diabetes Food and Nutrition Bible
8 bamboo skewers
3/4 lb extra firm tofu, drained and cut into 32 cubes
1 red pepper, cut into 16 squares
1 cup canned pineapple chunks, reserve 1/2 cup juice
1 Tbsp lite soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp minced ginger
Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes to keep them from burning as you
cook the skewers.
Meanwhile, put the tofu, red pepper, and pineapple chunks in a plastic
bag or container with a lid. Add reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce,
garlic, and ginger. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Drain, reserving marinade to baste. Thread the tofu, red pepper, and
pineapple on the skewers.
Prepare an outdoor grill or oven broiler with the rack set 6 inches
from the heat source. Grill or broil the kabobs about 5 minutes per
side, basting with the marinade. Serve with brown rice.
