Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Tofu with Marinade.
Step 1
Start by gathering all the essential ingredients for your delicious grilled tofu dish.
Step 2
To prepare the tofu, place it on a plate and cover it with another plate, then add a weight of 3 to 5 pounds on top.
Step 3
This pressing technique will help remove excess moisture; let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes before discarding the accumulated liquid.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together sherry vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, cayenne pepper (if desired), dried marjoram or thyme (if you like), and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
Step 5
Slice each block of tofu into six thick pieces and arrange them in a baking dish.
Step 6
Pour the marinade over the tofu, ensuring each slice is generously coated.
Step 7
Cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 48 hours for an even richer flavor, turning the tofu occasionally.
Step 8
When you're ready to grill, preheat your outdoor or charcoal grill to high heat, then reduce it to medium and lightly oil the grill grate.
Step 9
Remove the tofu from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and set aside the leftover marinade for later.
Step 10
Grill the tofu slices on the preheated grill, turning them once, until they achieve a beautiful golden-brown color, about 10 to 15 minutes total.
Step 11
Keep an eye on those grill marks to prevent burning.
Step 12
Once grilled to perfection, transfer the tofu to a platter and cover it with foil to keep warm.
Step 13
In a saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until it thickens to about 1 cup, which should take around 2 minutes.
Step 14
Drizzle this luscious sauce over the grilled tofu and serve it hot, warm, or at room temperature.
Step 15
Enjoy the delightful flavors and textures of your homemade grilled tofu masterpiece!.
