Instructions

  1. Drain tofu and press for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Use a tofu press or wrap in a cloth and set something heavy on top like a cast iron skillet. 
  2. Combine marinade ingredients in a small bowl, mix well, and set aside while tofu is pressed.
  3. Slice the tofu into eight ¾″ strips and place in an airtight container or large freezer bag. Pour the marinade over the tofu, seal the container, and allow it to marinate in the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes. But, allowing it to sit overnight is best and will give you maximum flavor.
  4. Heat a non-stick grill pan over medium-high heat, add the tofu slices to the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes per side or until the tofu has browned and charred a bit.
  5. NOTE: This recipe is great for barbecues and cooking on an outdoor grill. Clean the grill grates to prevent sticking and be sure to use a metal spatula. 
  6. Remove from the pan, brush with a bit of the leftover marinade, and enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

If you don’t have a grill pan you can bake this tofu. Preheat your oven to 375˚F, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and bake the tofu for 15 minutes. Flip the tofu, brush with more marinade, and bake for another 15 minutes.
