Smoky Asian Grilled Tofu Recipe

By Jolinda Hackett, About.com

Grill your tofu in a tangy Asian hoisin-based sauce for an unusual barbecued tofu recipe. Perfect for your vegetarian or vegan barbecue. It's always best to let the tofu marinade in the sauce for several hours before grilling, so prepare in advance - even the night before your barbecue!

Ingredients:

  • 1 block extra firm tofu, well pressed
  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 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 6-7 minutes on each side, basting with extra marinade.
