Grilled Tofu

Steps

• 1

  Prepare the tofu. Start by pressing the tofu to remove as much liquid as possible. Next, place the tofu between two cutting boards and weigh the top down with a couple of heavy cans. The liquid will be pooling around the tofu. Let it sit for 1-2 hours, periodically tipping the excess fluid into the sink. This will improve the texture and make it more absorbent for the marinade.
