This is a delicious, easy way to cook bland tofu. Marinating in a sweet orange sesame teriyaki sauce adds lots of flavor, while grilling the tofu gives it a wicked crispy texture. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 lb extra-firm tofu, pressed shopping list
- 1/2 tsp orange zest shopping list
- 1/4 cup soy sauce shopping list
- 1/4 cup sugar shopping list
- 1/4 cup orange juice shopping list
- 4 tbsp sesame oil shopping list
- 1 clove garlic minced shopping list
- 1 tsp minced ginger shopping list
- 1/2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds shopping list
How to make it
- 1. Cut the tofu in half lengthwise and arrange in a baking dish.
- 2. Combine all ingredients except for the sesame seeds in a mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Pour the marinade over the tofu slices. Let marinade for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.
- 3. Heat BBQ grill to high. Meanwhile strain marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer until syrupy 5-10 minutes. Set aside the glaze.
- 4. Grill Tofu until hot, browned and sizzling, 4-6 minutes a side. Rotate the tofu 45 degrees after 2-3 minutes for crosshatch grill marks. Baste the tofu couple of times per a side with the glaze as it cooks.
- 5. Slice the tofu steaks into thin strips and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

This was a great recipe and gave the tofu a nice flavor. I used honey in place of the sugar. Also, we pan fried it in peanut oil instead of the BBQ. The orange seemed to be the key ingredient.
