Basic Grilled Tofu Recipes
SIMPLE GRILLED TOFU
A quick and easy way to serve up tofu! I debated even posting the recipe but I love and wanted to share the combination with the seasoning. I typically just use my Foreman Grill, the tofu gets a nice brown and crisps up quickly. Goes well with buttered rice and veggies. The left overs can be used to make a a hot tofu and cheese sandwich.

GRILLED TOFU
Pouring hot marinade over tofu slices encourages faster absorption of flavors, eliminating the need to marinate overnight. In a pinch, this method yields tasty results in three hours, but the recommended six hours deliver a much more complex, richer flavored tofu. Grilled, it makes a versatile side dish and is delicious warm or at room temperature. Pair it with steamed rice and a simple green salad, or turn the tofu into satisfying vegetarian sandwiches by tucking it into pita bread with lettuce and avocado.

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.
BASIC GRILLED TOFU
This is a very basic grilled tofu recipe that begs to be dressed up. You can add your favourite seasonings and serve with a mushroom gravy or a soy based dipping sauce such as teriyaki, barbeque or plum sauce. Don't skip the step of pressing out the excess moisture and use a vegetable grill rack so that the tofu doesn't break apart and drop into the fire. If you wish to marinade the tofu, omit the oi and soy and replace with your favourite marinade. Pour marinade over tofu and allow to lit for 30 minutes, then grill as directed. To make a Teriyaki tofu, omit soy sauce and oil, brush tofu with you favourite Teriyaki Marinade and Dipping Sauce, then grill as directed. This recipe is from Andrea Chesman's The Vegetarian Grill.
