Side Chili Glazed Grilled Organic Tofu Recipe

Press the Tofu

Begin by pressing the organic firm tofu to remove excess water. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for at least 30 minutes.

Slice the Tofu

Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch thick slices. This will help the tofu absorb the glaze better and cook evenly.

Season the Tofu

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the tofu slices and gently toss to coat them evenly with the mixture.

Prepare the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), Sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.

Glaze the Tofu

Brush the chili glaze generously over the tofu slices, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve some glaze for basting while grilling.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.

Grill the Tofu

Place the glazed tofu slices on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved glaze halfway through the grilling process.

Check for Doneness

The tofu should have nice grill marks and be heated through. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Garnish and Serve

Transfer the grilled tofu to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Side Chili Glazed Grilled Organic Tofu!
