Teriyaki Grilled Tofu image

I love tofu, but my family only likes a few of the tofu recipes I make. This is one they really enjoy, though. When the tofu is cooking, I try not to leave the grill as the tofu sometimes can go from lightly charred to being overcooked and dark in a few minutes. I have included the time for marinating the tofu in the preparation time.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces extra firm tofu
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 -2 teaspoon gingerroot, peeled and grated, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
2 -3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Coat grill rack throughly with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium (300° to 350 ° F). Cut tofu into slices 1/2-inch thick. Place slices in a single layer in a shallow glass dish.
  • In a small bowl combine teriyaki sauce, honey, oil, garlic, ginger, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour teriyaki mixture over tofu and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • After removing the tofu from the marinade, place the leftover marinade into a sauce pan. Cook over high heat until boiling. Boil marinade until reduced and slightly thick. Turn down heat to very low and start grilling the tofu.
  • Grill tofu 5-6 minutes per side, turning gently, until lightly charred and heated through, being careful not to let tofu overcook. Remove from grill. Drizzle reduced marinade over grilled tofu. Sprinkle with green onions and (if desired) red pepper flakes. Serve at once.
