Tofu Marinade for Grilling

This is a delicious marinade for grilling tofu.  Seriously.  I very rarely enjoy tofu, but this is a clear exception.

  • 5 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 5 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Red pepper flakes to taste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pressed fresh garlic
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound extra-firm tofu
1. Gently squeeze the water out of the tofu block.
2.  Slice the tofu into quarter inch slices.
3.  Place tofu slices in a ziplock bag
4. Mix all remaining ingredients together.
5. Pour marinade into ziplock bag.
6. Squeeze air out of bag and seal.
7. Let tofu marinade in the refrigerator for at least four hours.  I prefer to leave it over night.
8.  Spray cooking spray on grill.
9. Remove tofu from marinade and grill like you would a hamburger on 3/4 heat.
10.  Tofu is very forgiving and will not burn easily.  Flip when browned.

Enjoy!
