Ingredients: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower; 3 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 teaspoon coarse salt; 1 1/2 pounds carrots (8 to 9 medium), cut into 2-inch lengths (thick pieces halved lengthwise); 2 packages (12 to 14 ounces each) extra-firm tofu, drained, each block cut into 16 equal pieces; 4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced; 1 to 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (unseasoned); 1 to 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

FLAVOR BOOSTER The carrots and tofu are both briefly marinated in a soy sauce mixture before being broiled. Scallions, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil lend other Asian elements. Be sure to use extra-firm tofu, as it will hold up better than other types of tofu.
