BBQ TOFU: A VEGAN RECIPE YOU'LL LOVE

Steps:

• Press your extra firm tofu in a tofu press for 15 minutes. If you don't own a press, wrap your tofu blocks in clean, dry kitchen towels. Place the blocks between two cutting boards and place something heavy on top. Wait 2-3 hours and then remove the towels.
• Slice the tofu into six 1-inch thick blocks.
• Mix all of your sauce ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
• Place the tofu pieces in a shallow baking dish. Add in ¾ cup of your barbecue sauce. Keep the rest of your sauce for brushing on the tofu during and after grilling time.
• Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the tofu pieces with the sauce.
• Allow the tofu to marinate in the BBQ sauce for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat. Oil the grates with vegetable oil.
• Place your tofu on the oiled grates. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, brushing the tofu on BBQ with the leftover sauce periodically.
• Brush the grilled tofu with one final coat of the barbecue sauce. Serve warm, straight from the grill.

GRILLED TOFU

Steps:

• Arrange sliced tofu in a single layer on a paper towel-lined plate. Press top with more paper towels to remove excess water. Arrange tofu in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, or any shallow dish that can hold the tofu in one layer.
• In a small saucepan, combine oil, garlic and ginger over medium; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant, 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, sugar, pepper and 1/4 cup water, and cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar, about 2 minutes.
• Pour hot marinade over tofu. Gently turn tofu slices to evenly coat, then cover dish tightly with plastic wrap to seal in heat. Refrigerate for 6 hours (or up to 8 hours), flipping tofu slices halfway through.
• Heat grill to medium and grease grates well (or heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium and lightly grease). Grill tofu over direct heat until golden and caramelized, about 3 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, transfer marinade to a small saucepan over medium and warm through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in scallions.
• Transfer tofu to a serving plate and spoon over the sauce. Serve warm.

PERFECT GRILLED TOFU

Steps:

• Wrap tofu in a clean dish towel and weight it with something heavy such as a large can; leave it to drain for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together remaining ingredients in a bowl.
• Cut each piece of tofu crosswise into 6 thick slices and put it all in a baking dish. Pour marinade over tofu, turning to coat, and chill, covered, turning occasionally, at least 30 minutes or up to 48 hours. Longer is better, but shorter is totally fine.
• Preheat a gas grill on high heat (450 degrees F to 650 degrees F) 10 minutes, then reduce heat to medium (325 degrees F to 375 degrees F)--or do whatever the equivalent is if you're using charcoal. Oil grate.
• Transfer tofu from marinade (letting excess drip off and reserving marinade) to grill with a spatula. Cover grill and cook tofu, turning once, until well browned but before grill marks get black, 10 to 15 minutes total. Transfer tofu to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Bring reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan and boil until it reduces to about 1 cup, about 2 minutes. Pour over tofu and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
