I had a bottle of Jamaican Jerk Seasoning Blend that we've put straight onto fish before grilling and on that bottle there was a recipe for Jamaican Jerk Pork. You had to marinade the pork overnight and then bake it for 2 hours. Hah. I have about 30 minutes to get dinner made and on the table before the kids go into utter meltdown. I thought I'd see what the recipe could do for tofu in 30 minutes.
Drained/pressed tofu and cut into ~8 slices.
In pyrex baking dish put a little olive oil, 1/4 cup tamari, 1/4 cup honey, 2 T lemon juice, 2 T mirin, and 2 T of the jerk seasoning. (the real recipe called for lime juice and sherry but i didn't have those. my measurements are totally approximations. i just dumped till it felt right.) Stirred it up and plopped in the tofu. Baked it at 400 degrees (flipping once) while I finished up the rest of dinner.
Oh. my. yum. I've made other baked tofu things before that i've liked but this is my new favorite one.
I served it with some trader joe's veggie egg rolls, and some stir-fried collard greens & swiss chard with sesame oil, garlic salt, pepper, tamari & a splash of rice vinegar.
Good stuff. The kids are never going to be patient enough for us to take a picture before we eat.

take pictures!
is jerk spicy? i wonder if your kids like spicy stuff or if this is milder than i have had before.
it's a little spicy when you put it straight on. but not too bad. and in this recipe it was diluted with all the liquids so it wasn't really very spicy at all. emmett liked it. clara wouldn't try.
