GRILLED OR PAN-FRIED MARINATED TOFU
This is one of my favorite ways to eat tofu. Keep some marinating in the refrigerator, then grill or pan-fry at will.

Steps:
- Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a 2-quart bowl. Whisk together well.
- Drain the tofu and pat dry with paper towels. Slice into 1/2-inch thick slabs, and blot each slab with paper towels. Add to the bowl with the marinade, and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to an hour, or for up to a day.
- To pan-fry the tofu, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. When the oil is hot, add the tofu in one layer (you may have to do this in batches). Cook on one side for one to two minutes, until lightly colored. Using tongs, turn the tofu over and cook for another one to two minutes, or until lightly colored on the other side. Remove from the pan, and serve with additional marinade or soy sauce. To grill the tofu, prepare a medium-hot grill. Brush the grill with oil, and grill until grill marks appear, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat, and serve with additional marinade or soy sauce.

PERFECT GRILLED TOFU
This recipe is very easy to double, though you don't need quite double the marinade: About 1 1/2 times the marinade is perfect for four packages of 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.

Steps:
- Press tofu block gently to release as much water as possible. Rub grill seasoning all over the block of tofu. Put into a resealable plastic bag and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Remove from the freezer and thaw on the counter until soft enough to cut. Slice in half lengthwise. Return to the bag, drizzle with olive oil, and seal. Rub the outside of the bag to help coat the tofu steaks with oil and seasoning. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat a griddle or an outdoor grill over medium heat. Add tofu steaks and cook until crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn over and cook until the other side is crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve hot.

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.

- In a bowl or measuring pitcher, combine the tamari, oil, maple syrup, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Whisk well to combine as much as possible – the oil will want to separate out.
- Press the tofu strips gently with paper towels to remove excess water, then place in a shallow baking pan in a single layer and pour the marinade over the tofu. Let sit at least 30 minutes and preferably 1-2 hours (or cover and chill for up to 2 days).
- When ready to cook, wipe the garlic off of the tofu (otherwise it will burn) and reserve the marinade. The tofu tends to stick to grills, so I have the best success searing it in a ceramic non-stick pan over medium-high heat until golden, then transferring it to the hot grill to add caramelization. You can also simply sear it the skillet until deep golden on both sides, 1-2 minutes per side.
- Alternatively, make sure your grill or stovetop grill pan is very clean, and oil it well. If using a grill pan, heat the pan over medium-high heat until very hot. If using a grill, set it to medium heat. Place the tofu slices on the grill at an angle and cook until it holds deep grill marks, 1-2 minutes per side.

- Pat the tofu dry. Slice the tofu into roughly 6x4cm pieces which are around 1cm thick. Place the slices on a chopping board, and gently pat them dry again with a kitchen towel for 2-3 minutes. The drier the tofu is, the better it will grill and the crisper it will become.
- Heat a griddle pan over medium high heat and drizzle it with olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add as many slices of tofu that can fit in the pan whilst leaving a few cm between each piece.
- Grill the tofu, undisturbed, for 5-6 minutes. Flip the tofu and grill it on the other side for 5-6 more minutes. Transfer the tofu onto a small baking dish and repeat the grilling process with the remaining tofu.
- While the tofu grills, prepare the marinade. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, sugar and salt and whisk together. Stir in the chopped herbs, basil and capers.
