Hello everybody, it is Jim, welcome to our recipe page. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, grilled marinated tofu. It is one of my favorites. For mine, I am going to make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
Transfer tofu from marinade (letting excess drip off and reserving marinade) to grill with a spatula. Transfer tofu to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Pouring hot marinade over tofu slices encourages faster absorption of flavors, eliminating the need to marinate overnight. In a pinch, this method yields tasty results in three hours, but the recommended six hours deliver a much more complex, richer flavored tofu.

The Spruce / Ashley Nicole DeLeon. Save the leftover marinade and drizzle over the tofu as it cooks. Bake It: If you don't have a grill pan you can very easily bake the marinated tofu. Pour the marinade over the tofu.
Steps to make Grilled Marinated Tofu:
- Mix all of the ingredients listed in the Marinade into a paste. Coat all of the tofu with the marinade. Keep chilled overnight. - - Tip: (1) Freeze and thaw tofu to improve texture, I bought specifically a firm tofu so I didn't have to do this. Do not use silk tofu (2) You may poke through the tofu to let the marinade seep in, skip this if the tofu you have isn't firm enough.
- The following day, bring the tofu to room temperature, at least 30mins on the counter, before grilling. You skip this step and your tofu will stick on the grill no matter how you oil it.
- Prepare your grill. I use a cast iron grill. Oil the grills and let it slowly heat up in medium fire. Once you see a little smoke indicating its very hot, start putting the tofu. You can bring the fire to low if you are not confident to flip them fast enough. I personally like the char taste and look the grill makes.
- Flip the tofu 2 minutes each side, about 4x. While you're at it, might as well change directions each flip to create the "X" marks. 😂 We fancy.
- Serve and Enjoy!
Bake It: If you don't have a grill pan you can very easily bake the marinated tofu. Pour the marinade over the tofu. If you want to leave it overnight, it will be even more flavorful. Cook the tofu: In a large skillet, cast iron preferred, add a few tablespoons of a neutral oil, such as canola oil and heat over medium-high heat. Pour marinade on top of tofu and let it marinate for at least an hour (overnight gives it even more flavor).
