Equipment
- 1 grill or grill pan
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 tongs
- 1 paper towels
- 1 cutting board
- 1 knife
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce Adjust according to preferred spice level.
- 2 tablespoons honey Adjust according to preferred sweetness level.
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- Salt and pepper To taste.
- Fresh cilantro For garnish.
Instructions
- Prepare the tofu by pressing it to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu in paper towels and place a weight on top (like a plate) for 10 minutes.
- While the tofu is pressing, prepare the marinade. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, vegetable oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch thick slices or cubes, depending on your preference.
- Add the tofu to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the marinated tofu on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until nicely charred and heated through.
- Remove the tofu from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot, either on its own or with rice and vegetables.
Notes
Adjust the Sriracha and honey amounts according to your preferred spice and sweetness levels.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the flavors.
You can also use this marinade for grilled vegetables or chicken for a mixed grill platter.
