Instructions
Slice each tofu block 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick and pat the slices dry.
In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, honey, 2 tablespoons peanut oil, soy sauce and black bean chili paste.
Spread half of the marinade in the bottom of a large nonreactive baking dish and top with the tofu slices.
Spread the remaining marinade over the tofu, covering it completely.
Preheat a stovetop grill or the broiler. If using a grill, lightly brush the surface with peanut oil. Grill or broil the tofu, turning once, until caramelized and brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Cut each piece into wide strips if desired.
To serve, line plates or a platter with the watercress and set the tofu on top.
Drizzle the Miso-Carrot Dressing on the salad.
Make Ahead: The tofu can stand at room temperature for up to 1 hour before grilling.
