Directions
Grilled sesame tofu, Tofu soaks up the flavors of the marinade and then grills up to be nicely browned on the outside and creamy inside This recipe requires draining time of 1-2 hours and a 24 hour marinating time From the Chicago Trib, Great recipe I’ve been trying tofu as a main dish one day a week and this recipe will stay on my rotation I didn’t have any chili oil so I substituted red pepper flakes I grilled them at 350 degress for 6 minutes on my George Foreman grill , The marinade was incredible used the broiler, and the tofu turned out great Somehow, threading the tofu on the skewers with green onions didn’t work Maybe I cut the tofu into the wrong shape Since I don’t have a grill, and will be using the broiler, I’ll just soak the green onions in the marinade and tuck them onto the broiler, too
