Tofu and Seasoning

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into slices about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Season the Tofu

    In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Marinate the sliced tofu in the mixture for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and prepare a steaming rack or a grill-safe pan with holes.

  4. 4

    Grill the Tofu

    Place the marinated tofu slices on the steaming rack or grill pan. Cover with a lid and steam for about 6-8 minutes on each side until heated through and slightly firm.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the tofu from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy plain or with a dipping sauce of your choice.
