- Cut the tofu into slabs about a 1/2 inch thick and two inches long.
- Sweet Simmered Miso: White and Red.

- Taste the miso sauce as you prepare it, miso flavors will differ from company to company so you may need to add additional ingredients to account for differences in product or your own preferences.
- Put white miso, 1/4 cup sake, 1/4 cup mirin, and 2 Tbs sugar in a small saucepan and stir over a medium flame until well blended.
- When the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat and continue stirring until smooth and thick (around 20 minutes).

- If you have any extra sauce, the plain sweet simmered miso can be refrigerated for up to a month.
- Citrus White Miso Sauce.
- The white miso sauce can be varied by taking 3/4 cup of the sweet simmered white miso and adding the finely grated citrus peel.

- For the grill, just before taking the tofu and vegetables off to serve, brush with the simmered miso sauce of your choosing and continue grilling until the miso is just browned and bubbling.
- For the broiler method, just before taking the tofu and vegetables out from the broiler, brush on the miso sauce of your choice and continue broiling until the top is bubbly and just browned.
