Barbecue Tofu for Kids

By Jolinda Hackett, About.com

An easy barbecued tofu recipe perfect for vegetarian or vegan kids! Using a ketchup-based sauce makes this easy grilled tofu recipe perfect for kids.

Ingredients:

  • 1 block extra firm tofu, well pressed
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Preparation:

Carefully slice tofu into 1-inch thick cubes or strips. If you're using skewers, cubes are best, but if you'll be placing your tofu directly on your grill, larger strips are better.

Whisk together all the ingredients, except tofu, and place in a shallow dish. Place the tofu in the dish and spoon some of the marinate on top of the tofu. Allow the tofu to marinade for at least one hour, turning once or spooning more marinade over the top. You can also use a zip-lock bag instead of a dish.

Lightly grease your gill and cook tofu over medium flame for 4 - 5 minutes on each side, basting with extra marinade.
