Grilled tofu with vegetables Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Place the tofu between two plates and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for about 30 minutes.
• STEP 2.While the tofu is being pressed, prepare the marinade. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• STEP 3.Once the tofu is ready, cut it into slices or cubes and place it in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tofu and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more flavor.
• STEP 4.Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
• STEP 5.Remove the tofu from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the tofu on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.
• STEP 6.While the tofu is grilling, prepare the vegetables. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• STEP 7.Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
• STEP 8.Once the tofu and vegetables are cooked, remove them from the grill. Serve the grilled tofu and vegetables together as a main dish or as a side dish.
• STEP 9.Enjoy your delicious and healthy grilled tofu with vegetables!
