A sweet-and-salty miso glaze turns tofu into little bites of comfort food, traditionally served on skewers.

Cooks' notes:

•If you don't have a microwave, wrap tofu in several layers of cheesecloth and press between 2 plates or cutting boards, then put it, tilted at a 45-degree angle, inside a large bowl, allowing any liquid to run off. Chill, turning tofu once, 2 hours.
•Any leftover miso mixture can be chilled up to 1 month. Brush over seafood or vegetables before broiling.◊
