Dice the tofu and place it in a bowl or small saucepan. Add 20g of finely chopped ginger, dry red wine, 5 tbsp Balsamic di Modena, 3 tbsp each of tamari and maple syrup. Mix everything together; the tofu should be almost covered. Let it stand for approx. 60-120 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a small saucepan, sauté the onion in a little water or oil, add the pickled tofu and its liquid, ground pepper, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, reducing the heat and adding a little water if necessary. Season to taste. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tbsp tamari, but do not bring back to a boil. In the meantime, rinse one cup of millet with boiling water to remove any bitterness. Then add the millet to the 2 cups of boiling water. Be careful! With a small pot, it can easily overflow. To prevent this, simply place a wooden or metal whisk vertically or at an angle in the pot. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat, and cook with the lid closed for about 6-20 minutes, depending on the type of millet. Once the water is below the surface of the millet, let it swell for about 8-10 minutes. The millet will then be almost white, dry, and beautifully grainy. Divide the millet between 2 or 3 dinner plates and top with the tofu. My own recipe
