Instructions
- Drain and press tofu for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Cut into 6 equal pieces. I like to slice the block in half through the middle, lengthwise, then chop each slab into 3 rectangles. Place into a large, shallow dish.
- Whisk together all marinade ingredients. Pour over tofu. Place in refrigerator and marinate for at least 1 hour. For the most flavor, marinate for 2-3 hours, or even overnight.
- Grease the grill grates with high heat oil, like avocado oil. Preheat the grill to medium.
- Use tongs to place tofu onto the grill and cook for about 5 minutes before carefully flipping and cooking 5 additional minutes.
- If making a bowl, assemble tofu on top of desired ingredients!
